Uncle Paul married my aunt Linda 26 years ago. In that time he has never failed to remember birthday, holidays and significant events in my life. He was my uncle by marriage but my friend and uncle through his actions. Though I have been through divorce, job loss, and other setbacks he was always there with words of support and encouragement. And he loved my aunt without reserve. Although we never got around to going hunting together, I know he is OK. I love you uncle Paul, you will be sorely missed. As a fellow Navy man also, to you I say this...
May you have fair winds, and fallowing seas...God speed to you uncle Paul
Take care...your nephew Mark
