Nancy I am so sorry to hear about Paul's passing. It's been many years since I saw Paul but I remember he was a very kind man, loved his family and would always put a smile on your face. And heaven has been blessed with that kind soul and I have no doubt he's putting a smile on all the souls around him. RIP paul
