Paul was a gracious "gentleman of the old school' who enriched the lives of all who knew him. His passing leaves a void which can only be filled with the many memories of a long life well lived.

Bissell, I'm so sorry to read about your Dad's passing. I wish I was going to be there to see you, but I'm up in my house in ND.

I hope you're well and give me best to Kelly.

So sorry for the loss of Paul, I bowled with him for many years and he was a great person that loved to bowl and always had a smile on his face. We will miss him on Thursday Night Mixers and I will miss being able to talk with him. I know that he was going through a lot lately and now he is at peace. May the Lord help you through this time of grief and that only good thought of Paul will prevail.
