Paul was known and loved by all os us in AMVETS Post 2, and AMVETS NEBRASKA. HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL OF US. Slow Salute from us Paul
A great friend, he will be missed.
A very good friend, he will be missed.
We love you Uncle Paul and we know you are in a better place., but We will still miss you dearly.
We were blessed to have had you! Miss you, Uncle Paul!!!
A neighbor, turned friend, turned family. Paul was a true friend that we considered family. When we moved next to him he greeted us with a smile and fresh baked bread – we were sure to be friends after that! As his health declined, we began to do small gestures like helping getting groceries, mowing the lawn, and snow removal. This is where the friendship truly grew because when we delivered groceries we would have to have a long chat. He once said “I am thankful that God has placed you all in my life”, and we feel the same. Paul was a true man of God and lived as such. We will miss him dearly, we have not only lost a true friend, but someone that we considered family.
