Condolences to family and friends. I have many memories of Paul, but perhaps the most powerful is the one I remember as a little boy. Paul told momma he would take her to see "Tody" in West Virginia (he was in the "service"). Momma fried chicken most of the night and Paul was there before daylight as promised. He was patient all the way there and back, especially with me because I talked all the way. We often talked about that trip whenever we met through the years. I will miss my cousin/brother. God bless!

There isn't going to be a moment your not going to cross my mind. For years you've shown me love a little kid up. I send my condolences to our family as they truly need guidance at this time of your passing. You will be missed see my daddy give him a big hug for me.

I am sending condolences during this time of bereavement. May God give you strength and comfort today and the days ahead. Gladys King

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
