I just heard of your swift departure into the promised land of eternity! It was great seeing you this past July 2013 at your home. You made me laugh with some of your stories and your facial gestures. That is something people don't do enough of today. Laughter is cheap and is still the best medicine! I remember growing up and how you could work wonders with those "hands". I always enjoyed swapping "war stories" with you even though you were in the Army! You had a great family. You were blessed with your wife, children and grandchildren. View your accomplishments and your family and friends with pride. Think of the lives you touched over the years with your volunteer work. Your work here on earth has been done in sincerity- be joyful for a job well done! For everyone that lives and dreams and tries there is a valley which can only be reached above and passing over the obstacles, difficulties, and uncertainties. Your attainment made it possible. Uncle Paul, till then...
