I loved Paul with all my heart. He was a sweet man.He would give you his shirt off his back. And walked like John Wayne. Love you to the moon and back until we meet again ❤️ 💓
I’m pretty sure I’m related to Paul and the rest of his family. I was born in Alexandria Louisiana. In the late 50s, I lived with my grandmother in Whittier California while my dad, Richard was is it in Korea? I remember my cousins Russell and Paul. Their fathers name was Dewey. Never stayed in touch and that’s a shame. Last I heard Russell was some kind of custom woodworker and wasn’t married. Sure would like to know if I’m right about what I wrote.
This wasn’t my Paul. He worked at Helena labs. Russell was in Criminal justice. Very much married. Now there is a Paul in Lumberton. Thank you for writing.
I worked with Paul for many years. I thought of him often after he retired. Had some good times together. RIP my dear friend
Jason and family so very sorry for your loss. Sending ????????????and ????????????your way.
