I will miss paul so much!!! I met him at kroger and enjoyed our visits everytime he shopped. Just about every year he won a dollar from me when we bet on the big game. His only downfall was he loved ohio state! Hahaha!!! His family is very lucky they had such a sweet and great man in their lives. Heaven gained a great angel!!!!

Paul and I worked together many years ago at The National Bank, Fremont (later Liberty National). He was a nice person with a great personality, always ready to help the Bookkeeping Department when asked. My Christian care and concern to the family.
