November 2, 2022 at 11:59 pmI was in shock to hear Paul had passed away.
I met him 20+ years ago, he came to my home care to market and we all fell in love with him. Over the years he had changed jobs but always came back in to see us. Paul told us great stories about his mother and his childhood. I have note cards drawn of Purdue scapes by his mother, oh how he loved her. I just would assume he was a very good son. He told us stories about his wife and their good life together. Of course the kids and grands, always. I don’t know how he died but I know he will be missed. Paul was a kind, gentle person, it took no time to know that. I’m sorry for your loss. He was a bright spot in our lives over many years. Ann Nettles,RN Ascension Home Care

He was a great husband, an amazing father, and the best Papa his grandchildren could have asked for. One of his greatest qualities was his sense of humor.
He made everyone laugh and his legacy will live on forever.
