    Paul will be remembered by us as a kind, peaceful and fun loving man. We loved his easy-going manner, his beautiful tenor voice, his enthusiasm for golf and anything MSU and mostly for his love of family and God. He showed his faith in the way he lived. Our sorrow is only balanced in knowing that our dear friend is with the Lord and we will see him again one day! Our love and prayers to you Tracy and Jenny and all the family.
