    We were sadden to hear in the passing of Paul. We had wonderful fun times at different car shows with Paul. He and Dan Nagy would bicker that was funny. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and may God’s comfort help you through this sad time.

    I am saddened by the passing of Paul. You meet a lot of people in life. If you are lucky you meet one you call friend. I worked with Paul for thirty five years at Kelsey Hayes. I saw Paul at a lot of car shows and the last couple of years he let me drive when he didn’t feel up to it. I liked his dry sense of humor. I was glad to call him my friend. To his family you have my deepest sympathy. He will be greatly missed.

    We are so sorry for the loss of Paul. I worked with Paul for over 27 years at Kelsey Hayes. I know his gentle demeanor will be missed by all who knew him, but I am sure he is happy to be reunited with his beloved Barb. May their souls rest in peace.
