I met Paul a few years ago, and he was the kind of person you don’t soon forget.
He was a man with a big and kind heart; and he will be missed by family, friends and those of us who have had our paths joined “for a short time.”
Rest in peace, Paul…
My Condolences to your family, a Father is a great loss, so sorry for your pain.
May He rest in Paradise with Our Lord
