Today this family has lost a great man, I've known this man since I was all of 2 years old and loved him with all my heart. I was his "Blondie" & he was just simply my "Paul". Although I haven't visited him in a few years my heart is broken and hurts even more for his awesome family. All I can do is pray for peace and comfort to the people he has left behind. <3

RIP Paul.
