It was always a pleasure checking on Uncle Paul with a phone call, he was always upbeat, joyful, and sharp. Was sadden to hear of his passing due to complications of covid, but the joy in my heart knowing that he is a child of GOD! Stay strong Sandra and Winona & family and cherish the good memories!
