Generous, loving, supportive, patient, served our country. That is how I will remember Paul. He was my uncle by marriage but a true member of our family.
Generous and loving to his family. Supported his wife and children. A most patient man that served our country honorably.
Remember that half cocked smile and twinkle in his eye? He was such a good man and will be missed by all who knew him.
My heart goes out to his children and especially my sweet aunt who loved and cared for him for many years. They were a team.
