| | Posted at: 08/22/2007 | | By: Kevin Stiles | | Paul was my little league coach I played first base. He called me the "claw", because I was able catch about every throw made to first base. I have many great memories of the golf course with Paul. It will definitely be different not seeing Paul on the course or in the club house. He was one of baseball's and golf's greatest fans! Paul was a good friend and will be missed! My deepest sympathy to his family. |

I have many many memories of your Dad.... through all the "overnights" with Paulette, seeing him at the club, and visiting him after we grew up. He always had a hug and a kiss for me. I am certain that he will be looking over all of you for the rest of your lives and hopefully will be assisting me a little with my golf handicap !!!! I will miss you DEARLY Paul!! |
| | Posted at: 08/21/2007 | | By: Dan McCain | | I met Paul several years ago while golfing with Jerry Carpenter. From that first meeting we became friends. Over the years when we would run into each other Paul always remembered me and wanted to catch up what I was up to. He was a genuine friend. I am very sorry to hear that he has passed but I am fortunate to have known him. |

| | Posted at: 08/20/2007 | | By: Bob Forey | | It was fitting that Paul shared my father's first name because I always thought of him as my Step-Dad. He is the father who raised me through the formidable teen years. He's responsible for my becoming the man I am. My deepest sympathies go out to his family. |
