To Pauls remaining family,
My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your son, father, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew. Paul was one of a kind. In bad times and in good times he was a dear friend to me and my family. Always there when we needed him and I hope he felt the same about us. Paul, you will truly be missed and were deeply loved.

Meghan,
Thinking of you and Cathy during such a hard time. We are always here for you.

I knew Paul for a long time along with his first wife Julie, he was always laughing and joking and we had many a good time talking about our experiences in the construction business. Had not seen him in a while, Godspeed my friend, I'll see YOU on the other side.

Meghan,
I worked with your mother for over ten years at MUSC and met your father through her. Sometimes an unexpected death is much harder to deal with then the death of someone who has been ill. Both your parents loved you dearly and I hope the comfort of your family and friends will help you through the coming days.

There is so much to say about my friend. He was so kind and sweet to me after my husband passed. He was a part of everyday life. I am so sad that I will not able to talk to him anymore. The plumbing industry is changed forever in Charleston without this wonderful man! RIP my friend!

To the Smith Family,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this to all of you since Pauls untimely death. Paul was a guy that could steal your heart and make you want to choke him at the same time!! He was my brother in-law for 20+years when married to Juli and together they created my beautiful niece Meghan Elizabeth, their only child.
Paul was adventurous, caring, hard working, stubborn & always stirring the pot!! Rarely did anything get past him!!
I hope that all of you will find peace & comfort in the days ahead, as you pander through this sad, untimely, loss. Though we dont see each other or talk to one another, just know that yall are always in my heart, thoughts & prayers.
To Cathy & Caylin, I know your hearts are broken, but Paul is Resting in Peace.
love
Linda Lilley(price)
