My sincere condolences to Paul's family and many friends. It was a pleasure to know him. R.I.P. Brother!
I am so saddened to hear of Paul’s passing. My prayers are with you all for Gods comfort and peace amidst this very sad time. I remember Paul from the time I was just a little girl. He and my brother Dan were best friends for years. We lived across the alley from each other. I remember that Dan and Paul exchanged Christmas gifts at exactly 6’oclock every Chrustmas Eve fir years. It was a tradition they shared for years. What a friendship. How many people have that ? When Dan was very sick 6 years ago and near to passing his best friends came to visit. Paul, Herbie(Carl) Olsen, Richard Barding and John Moen. These guys were the best. Dan called me and said, “ Susie, you should have been here. It was great!! We all laughed and had such a good time together! He loved Paul like a brother. Now they can laugh and share stories together again , without pain or suffering. Now they are at peace with Jesus. I will always remember how Dan and Paul let me tag along with them . I will continue to pray for you all. I know how hard it is. With all my love, Susie Norton Lanoue.🙏🏻🙏🏻💛💛
Jan, My heart hurts for you with the passing of your beloved Paul. I am so grateful for your friendship and Paul's words of wisdom and advice after Ted passed. Paul was one of those "Say what you mean and mean what you say" kind of guys. Paul had an infectious laugh and a big, big heart. He will be greatly missed. I'm sure he is riding on those streets of gold with his buddies.
