I remember Paul from grade school. Knew him from 2nd grade. Paul was always happy no one ever had a better friend. He stood tall in all our eyes. Was sorry to see he had passed on. Susan Kleiven Sorenson

I remember his sense of humor and always a smile for everyone. He would tease the bigger guys and run through the desks to keep away from their taller frames. I do not think Mrs. Anderson in study hall always appreciated his humor and will be missed thank you Paul for being a part of our class.

Paul was a fixture in my life from kindergarten through high school and even at church on Sundays. He was always joking and calling me the baby of the group since my birthday was in September. I called him when he was in the hospital a few weeks before he passed away and even though he was in pain, he was still joking and making me laugh. I will remember him fondly with laughter and a smile.

There was no better friend than Paul. We grew together through the years, and never lost touch. His final days were still filled with warmth and good thoughts. He was grateful for the extra years and felt that he had been given that gift....his faith pervailed. His footprint is firmly stamped in my memory and my life may not have been the same without him.
