Jeannie and family,
I first met Paul when he certified me for my scuba class at Beaver Lake in 1985.
John and I have such fond memories and fun stories to remember from all the Baker scuba trips we took together with Paul.
You joined us too on some of them.
He was a great guy, so kind and patient. It was always fun to see you around town.
We are so glad to have known Paul.
Our sympathy to all of you.
Went to kindergarten at Pinckney with Paul, Sandra Wheelhouse, Mike Redford, Gordy and Sherry Woody, Brenda Kidd, Ronnie Oswald, and more whose names I have forgotten . We had a wonderful class. It was a magical time. All are with me in my heart.
I knew Paul when working at Hallmark Cards, he was a great guy and well liked by everyone. So sorry for your loss.
I feel like I’ve known Paul all my life. I think he was 16 when he started working with me at Hallmark. Our paths crossed many times Paul will be fondly missed by all who knew and loved him. Prayers and condolences to the family.
Jeannie, I’m so very sorry to hear about Paul. Sending so many positive thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I know it’s been many years, but I enjoyed visiting with him when I was Adam’s preschool teacher and then catching up with you when I saw you at the ReStore. May your memories keep you filled up and your family keep each other comforted. Michele
