A uncle by marriage, but a true uncle in my heart. I loved the times we went on the Spoon River trips. Oh, how he loved to go on those Spoon River Drives, with him went the memories he shared with his wife Margaret. Going to a certain church for ham and beans and then on to the place where he had to buy his favorite apple pie. He really was a great person, easy to fall in love with, his kindness and gentleness, his wisdom, his spirituality. A good Christian man with high morales and values. He was a good father and husband. He will be missed, but not forgotten. He will live always in our hearts. God Bless Uncle Paul, may he live forever in the glory of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Paul. He remained a faithful servant and was so loved by so many. He valued life as a gift and shared his life with his family, his country and God. The celebration of his life will be awesome but not as awesome as the celebration in Heaven. God Bless you all.

My thoughts are with Paul’s family. He was such a good man. I didn’t see much of Paul after I finished high school but I was so fortunate to meet him again through the Sweetwater Christian Church family. Heaven is blessed with another of Williamsville’s finest!
