Julie, Jim, Katie, Charles and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Paul's passion for the Lord, the church and his family were always evident. Paul was always a teacher, be it Sunday school or explaining how things worked. The memories of camping, kayaking, and fishing are ever present reminders of his love for the outdoors as well. Paul will be missed and will remain always in our hearts and memory.

Julie, Jim and family
I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my every thought and prayer. I will never forget the many memories from back in the day of spending time with Paul and Julie ( especially water skiing on Twin Lake). May peace come to you through your faith. Love you all!

We have many fond memories of Paul: camping at Muskegon State Park, cooking bacon over the fire, eating venison, riding the Seadoos, & playing pickle ball with him in Florida, Whitehall & our church. He became a very good pickle ball player. Collecting sharks teeth in Venice, FL & a snorkeling vacation in Cozumel with Jim & Jake. What adventures we had! Paul was an excellent singer and a man of faith. He believed John 3:16!
To those of us who knew loved and camped with Paul, he was our “McGuyver”. Nothing he couldn’t fix. For the past 40+ years I’ve had to water my horses in the winter time by hauling a 100+ feet of hose from my house to the barn. Well last summer Paul put a pump in my barn. I thought of that man this past winter every time I flipped that little switch and took that little 15 foot of hose to fill the water tanks. I told him so often. No words now to express the sadness we all feel at losing him. Jewels girlfriend, we love you we’re here for you. Always. Tom and Marilyn
So sorry Julie. You and your family are in my prayers.
Prayers for the family of a very inspiring man. The last words we spoke were a prayer. Form his OR team God Bless
