Mary and I wish to extend our sincerest condolences to Paul's family. I always looked forward to speaking with Paul (and Misty) every time I visited my mother and walked her dog. I always wanted to show him my motorcycle because we spoke of it often. I will always regret that missed opportunity. Peace be with him.

Dear Erma & Family,I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. I will miss seeing and talking to Paul. He always had a smile to share as he made his daily rides around the condos and during his dog walking. Wishing you God's peace and comfort.

I own a condo in CDS where I plan to retire after completing a career in Pennsylvania. Charlie Brooks (current CDS resident)and I worked together for many years. I knew Paul and whenever I was at CDS I often conversed with him and loved up Misty. I have also owned 3 mini schnauzers--hence my love for them. I shall truly miss seeing Paul and Misty on their walks. May he rest in peace. God bless. Janet
