Sorry to hear about your dads passing
Craig and Paul
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was quite the character indeed. I'm fortunate to have had an opportunity to spend many hours with him over the years...learning "life's lessons" from his entertaining, yet very real perspective. Always a good time with Paul...and I will remember him fondly and with great humor. Thanks for sharing him with us.
Goodby old friend.
It is said that in a lifetime a man is lucky to have one true friend. Paul was mine. We have been friends for over 50 years. Raised our families together. Hunted together. Worked on projects together. Went to the mountains together. Laughed together and cried together. He, Al Cavuto and I bought an old farmhouse in the mountains of Tioga County, PA and rebuilt it together. Thereby having a place to just "get away". We incorporated the Highland Township Hunt Club and were charter members together. He was the major host of the Highland Township Social Club. He was truly like a brother to me. You will be sorely missed my friend. My sincere condolences to all the Yeckley family.
Paul, I am so sorry to hear
Paul, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Mike and I really liked your dad. Always enjoyed his company, especially sauerkraut time. Let me know if there is anything you need.
