Sincere condolences to the family for your loss. May God provide the needed comfort during your time of mourning.

I knew him as Paul from the moment he entered our family. The first son of my brother Richard and his mother Norma, he was the first member of his generation as I was in mine. He was early on called upon by his parents to help lead his large set of brothers and sisters and he served this role admirably. He will be missed.-----Uncle Tony.
