Saddened to hear of Paul’s passing. He and our Dad had a life long friendship that started at school. Both Paul and Louise have been in our families lives for a long time. Now reunited with Louise. RIEP Paul.

Saddened to hear of Uncle Pauls passing. As a kid, to me, he was larger than life and had the loudest laugh. Rest In Peace with Louise.
