"As I write this and start this tribute page, it is his one-year passing anniversary.  Due to Covid and family locations a memorial was not held.  Paul's life is not be to forgotten.  He loved his wife, children, grand and great grandchildern.   He cared for Jane during her battle with Alzheimer.  Although, it was not easy for him to show love outwardly, Paul loved and was so very proud of his children and the adults they had become."
