I wish to offer my deepest sympathy.  Paul was a kind, generous person.  Aunt Babes always said that Paul was a truly genuine person always showing kindness all that he met.  We always enjoyed the visit from you, Paul, Heidi and John to my house.  It always brought such happiness to my Dad and Aunt Babes.  May Paul rest in peace.  He was a wonderful person!

Sorry to hear of your loss, Paul was a good guy, friend to many and a resource to all. He was a teacher, mentor  and a calming spirit every day he was in the plant. He was always one of the “go to” guys in the maintenance group and there are many who owe their success to him.  

Very sorry to hear of his passing.

Mariann, I was so sorry to hear of your husbands passing. I never met him but saw him in passing many times. Please know that Denny, My Dad Sam Softchin and myself are lifting you and your family up in our prayers.

Marianne and Family,  I was so shocked to hear of Paul's passing.  I had seen Kim this past summer and she was telling me that you guys were doing great.  Ever since I have known your family, Paul always made me feel like I was "one of the family".  I still remember when Bethanne and I went away for Senior Week and we found you guys while you were camping.  To say that was fate is an understatement.  I do not know what I would have done if Paul was not able to help with my car issue until my dad got down to Rehoboth.  Again, I am truly sorry about Paul's passing.  He will always hold a special place in my heart as being a lifesaver.  I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
