I just heard of Paul’s passing. Paul meant a lot to me. He is a great man and taught me a lot about becoming a man. He always told me to work hard in life if you plan on getting anywhere. He was always pleasant to talk to even when he spoke his mind to me. He had a calm but assertive voice. Paul was a positive person in my life and I wish I would have seen him more. I know he was always happy to see me. I will always remember those days of moving lawns, painting, and fixing things at his rentals. Thank you, thank you, thank you Paul for all you taught me and for never giving up on me even when I gave up on myself. You were a blessing to me.

God Bless,
