Debbie, We will always have happy memories of Paul and the good times we shared at the lake. He loved to cook the fish we caught and what a wonderful cook he was! It was always so entertaining to just listen to him talk with that sense of humor he had. He will be sadly missed by all.
Our love to you and your family,
