Paul was a great guy. I met him when I went to alanon meeting. He remembered meeting me 20 some years ago with my ex husband who worked at corrections with him. Paul always has a smile and gave me a warm hug when he saw me down. I will miss him. To his family: I am sorry for your loss. He sure was proud of his grandkids
Judy, Mike and I are so sorry for your loss. We have such fond memories of spending Thanksgiving together every year at Jon and Marne’s. It won’t be the same without him. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and wishing you peace and comfort. Love, Mike and Cindy Gorman
Judy and Carol So sorry to hear about Paul. My prayers are with you. Martha Kleindienst
Dear Judy and Family, Please accept our deepest sympathy. You are in our thoughts, and we wish you peace and strength. May memories bring comfort. I will always cherish Paul’s brotherhood and musical kinship. Love, Pat and Glenn.
My condolences to Paul’s family. I will certainly miss him and his straightforward honesty. His brothers’ in recovery at the Jefferson City Correctional Center want you to know that Paul will be missed and that you are in their prayers.
My sincere condolences are extended to Paul’s family and friends. Paul was my supervisor at Probation and Parole almost 25 years ago. He was very supportive and encouraged me in many ways to grow personally and professionally. Paul’s work with those in recovery has always been praiseworthy and inspirational. He has positively touched the lives of so many people. God bless. Tom Hodges
