So sorry to read about Paul's passing in the Ottumwa Courier. I worked with Paul at Southern Prairie AEA 15. He was a kind, thoughtful and caring man. One spring weekend many many years ago he invited a bunch of us mushroom hunting on a farm somewhere near the Iowa-Missouri border. Coming from northern Minnesota it was my first experience hunting (and eating) mushrooms and I got an idea of why people were so fond of hunting them. After his retirement I ran into Paul a few times over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Posted by Dick Wright - Albia, IA - Friend November 23, 2012

Paul was more than a co-worker. He was a friend. He was a wise man who's counsel I cherish to this day. He will be missed. His memory will live on through friends and his loving family. My thoughts and prayers are with the family today and may God bless all of you who knew him.Til we meet again, brother Paul, peace be with you.
