Please accept my deepest sympathies.
I remember the first time I met Paul. I was riding down US1 south. Came to a stop light and this guy was riding across US1 in front of me. Well, he hit some gravel and lost it and dropped his bike. I rode over and blocked the on coming traffic. I asked if he was OK, he said, "let me look at my bike". I knew right then we would be friends! I said, lets go to the Snapper and have a few beers. He said, lets go! That was the start to a fantastic relationship. Paul was a great friend. I will never forget him. I miss you and love you bro.

There was one summer he rode his motorcycle all the way up to us in Illinois, I think just to visit, I was maybe 10? I was still asleep, felt this thing on my face so swatted it away. It came back a couple more times, so finally I wake up and who is in my room but Uncle Paul! He and dad stood there laughing and shortly there after I got ready for the day and he took me for a ride on the motorcycle up and down our street. He told me to wear long pants and sleeves, or he wouldn’t take me. Mind you, he was wearing some roughed up jeans and a t shirt lol but he was always concerned about everyone else first.
I had these purple, glittery “jeans” and I remember him telling me they were so cool and saying he needed a pair for himself.
I will never get on a motorcycle again but I’m so glad to have ridden with Uncle Paul ❤️
I remember being at Jerry & Sharon’s & yur dad was there & I watched him eat an entire bucket of raw oysters & I almost threw up. He was in heaven though ❤️
My dearest daddy, I would of never of imagined you being gone so soon! I know you wouldn't want us to be sad and want us to know that you will forever be with us! I am beyond thankful for all the things you have taught us, always being supportive, and being the best Grandpa/Pawpaw ever! You will forever be my hero and I will forever hold you in my heart! I love you Daddy, rest easy Old man! ❤️
