We had almost every class together in high school and he made the experience more enjoyable. We also went through the majority of Sunday School together. There was never a dull moment with Paul. I moved away after my senior year of high school, but came back for the Forest Festival and ran into Paul at a party and it was so good to catch up with him. My condolences go out to everyone. Paul touched so many people's lives. I am unable to attend the services that are being held, but I plan to see you when I travel to Ireland in August. Rest easy my friend."
