To Paul’s family & friends.
I had the pleasure of going to high school with Paul. He was such a kind and fun loving guy. Fast smile and a joke on his lips.
He sit often behind me in class. A real friend.
He will be missed.
May he rest in peace back with his wife, the love of his life.
May God hold you all close in His loving arms.
I got reconnected with Paul after he moved back to WP, he came in to see Dr Applegate. Of course I had the upper hand I knew his name and Date of Birth.
After I did his vitals, etc. I said by chance did you graduate from WPHS class of ’75.
He laughed his sweet laugh, saying how did you know that.
I laughed and told him who I was, Kathy Bray Beaty.
We hugged and visited a few minutes until I had to move on to the next room.
Then every time I saw Paul in the hospital when his wife was in we would visit.
A very kind soul.
Heaven gained a GREAT guy.
