I lived across the street from Paul and we were good friends all through our school years. It is so good to see that he was able to enjoy his family for so many years. Paul could really ride a motorcycle and my mother was often heard saying "there goes Paul making his motorcycle buck all the way up the street" we loved when we would ride a wheelie all the way up 1050 North! Best to his family as they remember a great guy. Regards, Brent Mangus
Dad was always our #1 supporter when it came anything. If he was cheering us on, no matter where he was, you could always hear his voice cheering loudly.
Thank you dad for always being there! No matter what I needed you were always ready to help in any way you could. You were an amazing father and have taught me so many life lessons on how to be a strong person. Your legacy will always live on through the people you have touched and I know You will never be forgotten!! I love you with all my heart.
Deb, Chad, Rob and Chris, Paul was a good person. I have seen how you boys have turned out and that shows buy the parenting you have had. I will always remember a time that he and your mom stopped what they were doing to come and comfort me in my time of need. From that day my daughter always called Paul uncle Paul... Always know that part of him is with you not only in spirit but in your heart. Anytime you feel a need to talk or are just missing him reach deep in your heart and he will be there. Always know that he loved you and you boys were his pride and joy. Please don't hesitate to call me if there is something I can help with. Love Kraig and Charlene MEYERS
Paul was one of my best friends and mentors through the ages of 8-16. Loved having him as my Jr Jazz basketball coach, he was always upbeat, enthusiastic, intense, and kind. I enjoyed basically living at his house hanging with Chad, his brothers, and Debbie/Paul. There never was a dull moment, as we were always joking about something, eating something, or just having a good time. I will never forget the day took me motorcycling and trusted me to take a bike off of jumps. I nearly killed myself but it was cool to know that he wanted me to have a good time and trusted me to use one of his kids bikes. Paul will always be remembered in my mind as a very generous, supportive, "I'm going to kick your butt until you get better" kind of a guy. I have a lot of respect for him and for the family he raised. Good dude. I wish everyone in the family comfort in knowing he touched my life in a positive way.
Dear Debbie, Chad, Robert and Chris and family,
We are so sorry to hear about Paul's passing. We have great memories of him cheering on his boys at soccer games and sharing stories of his motorcycle adventures. He was always kind, and funny. We know he is free of pain and suffering now, and are glad of that, but we also know you will miss him so much. We hope you find comfort in the wonderful memories of him. We are grateful to have known him.

Dad, thankyou for always being there when I needed someone to talk to, you taught me so much in life, from working hard and giving 110%, to being the best father and husband I can be, and that family comes first before anything else, I will miss our talks we had and our hugs goodbye. I am very happy, you are pain free now and at peace and rest. Love you always and forever. Chad
