His smile, his laugh, his love of life.... I'll always remember. I know he and Mike O'neal Sr are probably sipping on crown, smoking cigars, and playing golf right about now. Both of them left their marks on many, and they will never be forgotten.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well used brings happy death. We will all remember Paul's love of life and a good time. Our sincerest condolences.
