I’m Sherry (Willis)Smith and went to Connally with Paul and I feel blessed to have had him apart of my life, made those years fun and memorable. I am so sorry for your loss and pray God will comfort you all during this time.
Maxine and Susan,
I’m so sorry. Praying for you and your family and sending our love your way.
Paul was a man of few words, but I still know that he was proud of me. He took on the challenge to help raise my brother and myself. I’m sure he didn’t know what he was getting himself into. He did it all for the love of my mom. She would have been lost without him. I was truly blessed with a Dad that didn’t have to be.
Dear Maxine and family: I send my deepest sympathy to you at this difficult time. My prayers are with you, and I have you in my heart. Time will help, but it takes a big amount of it. God bless all of you.
Veronica and Family,
We are blessed to have you as neighbors and are here if you need anything at all.
God Bless You
I had the pleasure and privilege of working with Paul on a project at Reynolds and Reynolds. Even under tight deadlines, Paul was always calm and helpful. His knowledge, commitment and positive attitude will be greatly missed.
May God bless all of you during this difficult time.
I am very sorry for your loss. I’ve worked with Paul over the past 7 years (when Reynolds and UCS combined) and he was always willing to help me, no matter how stupid the question. He had an easy way of explaining things to me and it made it seem like he was sitting next to me explaining it rather than being in Houston while I was in Dayton. He was a joy to work with. I’m going to miss him.
My deepest sympathy and condolences.
I went to Connally with Paul ,always enjoyed his company.So sorry he left this world at an early age.
Veronica, Samantha, Step Children, Steve and Angela, and all five grandchildren and family,
I didn’t know Paul but I am a fellow associate at Reynolds. I morn your/our loss and pray for each of you and will continue to pray for your healing process. God bless your future…each of you.
