We are both saddened to learn of Paul’s death. He was a hard worker and a dependable friend. Everyone who knew him appreciated his humor. Stories of Paul and my husband as they hunted and fished together are a part of our children’s fondest memories.

The stories with my beloved uncle there are so many. Know this no matter what you did with Paul it was going to be a fun and possibly an educational adventure. Boating/ fishing/dancing/card games/ Savannah history/body surfing before a storm/parties it was never boring. Our family will never quite be the same. He absence is truly felt!

Where do you start? This man had one heck of a life many a person would just have loved to had! He always was the life of the party and did just what he wanted to do all his life! I will always miss going to Nascar races with him, he is the reason I got to see the Daytona 500 not once, but 6 different times! Talladega, Charlotte, To name a few! He was a big Race fan! I just can’t believe he is gone! But there is one thing Paul did know, That was his Knowledge of the Bible! So I know he has probably made Jesus smile and laugh a trillion times since he passed! Maybe we’ll see you again Brother Paul! God’s peace and love to the family!
