Add A Condolence

You and your family have my sincerest condolences. I worked with Paul at GTA and was on a few programs with him at different churches in Greensboro. Paul and I had many discussions and I found Paul to be a straight up guy that loved his family and was passionate about his beliefs. I will miss my buddy and his singing! Did he ever learn to play his guitar? I was a guitar student of Val Alexander and he all was close to Paul and the Truetones. I am praying for the family in these trying times, may God keep and bless you! Roger Brice
