Paulette, Norette & Steve, I have a lot of fond memories of your dad & mom when we were all "young" at Harwood Church and in youth group. Steve, I remember all of us eating pizza at our house, when Ralph and I were first married! That was about all I could cook then! (Ralph would probably say, that's all I cook now too!!) My thoughts & prayers are with you all. Judy & Ralph Barnes

To Paulette, Norette & Steve,
Paul was truly the "grand old man"! He put a smile to the faces on everyone he met and we were blessed to be able to count him as one of our friends. We'll always remember the Colorado ski trips we shared back in the '80s when his wit and wisdom made the times so memorable. We'll miss you, friend...
Tom and Lynda Katonak
My sympathies on the loss of your dear father.

I knew Paul from when he came to cut corn for my father back in the 1950's. After he married my mother, Paul and I became close friends. He was of great assistance in helping me work the farm. He much loved my mother and my mother loved him. Paul was one of those wonderful individuals that you could count on and trust. His presence will be missed.
Love, John N Roberts Jr.
