A Time to Love…

Paul showed love to all in many ways. His biggest accomplishment was the birth and rearing of his children.  He was a devoted father. His four children were his pride and joy.  He would do absolutely anything for them. If they wanted or needed it, he did his best to try to make it happen. Paul was a soft-spoken man. He had patience to the core and was very reserved.  He was a staple in the community and a great mentor to many of the young people and friends to his children he was “Daddy Paul” or “Uncle Paul”.  He showed love to each person that he came encountered with.
