    Dear family...We are so sorry to hear about Uncle Paul. Wish we could have come back for his services. I spent quite a bit of time with Paula, Pam and Rick as a child and always had a great time with the family. Paul was a blessing to his country and his family and will surely be sadly missed by many people. Love to all of you. You have been and will continue to be in our prayers.

    Paula and family, I'm so sorry about your dad. He sounded like a true hero, and I'm sure he was as a dad, too. My dad passed in April, so I may understand what you're going through. He raised a wonderful daughter! All my prayers and love are with you. Gayle
