"God blessed me 13 years ago with the best friend a girl could have. That's when Yogi and Phyillis came in my life. We have remained closes of friends. They even wanted to adopt me as a grandaughter! My sorrow and sympathy go to all of his family, he was a great man and spoke highly of all his children. I heard the same stories everytime i went there, but i loved listening to them. His passing has left a big void in my life! Goodbye for now my wonderful friend and i will miss you. Sherry"
"I am sorry for the loss of your father. I am glad to hear that he was able to live unassisted all his life. I am sure he and your mother will be missed for some time to come. I have enjoyed listening to Kevin's stories of your father growing up. It was certainly a different era when we were raised from the environment our kids are being raised. Deepest Sympathy, Reed and Lynn Hughes"
"Our condolences to your family on the loss of your Father Paul. My mother years ago as a teen picked strawberries for your Dad. Your dads sister ran around with my aunt. I enjoyed knowing both your Mother and Dad. We had many a conversation as he knew my family and my grandparents and I enjoyed helping your parents and spending time with them. Sometimes it was more a one sided conversation as your Dad love to talk and hard to get a word in. LOL But he was very funny and I was glad to help him out and at times he was a help to me too. He enjoyed the times I brought kids and my dog to visit. My father passed away on memorial day at 72. I really miss him as I am sure you will miss your Dad. Your parents were my friends and they will be missed."
