Just found out about Paul. He will surely be missed but God has gotten a true & faithful servant by His side. He and Nancy have been such an asset to Shiloh Baptist Church! I will miss his fellowship and his wonderful approach to life , as we all will!
I Will also miss looking for him on Sunday mornings at Shiloh & knowing that if I found him, that I would most likely have a place near front that I could sit!

Nancy, I am so deeply sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I was just talking about you all yesterday when a friend asked about the Hoosier cabinet we bought from you. I am so sorry. Paul was a great man and I know he will be missed. May God comfort you and strengthen you all during this difficult time.

Please accept the condolences of the Critchfield family. Paul and I had many a talk about the Shenandoah Valley when we worked together at Monongahela Power in Fairmont, West Virginia. A fine gentleman who will be missed.
