We express our sympathy to Kathleen and the entire family during this time. Paul was a person we loved to be around. We loved his great sense of humor. Before Mom & Dad left to drive to Blue Springs we listened as Dad remembered living with Paul & Kat when he was working in Kansas City. Many good memories. We send our love to you. Michael & Karen Larose
Sandy, mom Kathleen, Ronna and Nathan, our loved ones are only as far away as our memories. Keep him in your heart, share stories of love and laughter and he will be with you always. With deepest sympathy for your loss, love Petra & James
Kat, Sandy, Ronna, Tim, Nathan and family, We just wanted you to know we love you and are praying for you. I feel like it’s a huge loss to me losing Paul so I can’t imagine your pain. I was looking back at pictures last night and thinking how blessed our family is that we got to spend time together and love each other. When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be!
So sorry to hear about the death of Paul Holman. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I know my father Wayne N. Holman had some very good memories he used to share with us as children about his family. Because of the age differences between siblings, I think he was close to many of his nieces and nephews because he wasn’t that much older then they were. God Bless You. Sincerely Mary King

One of my favorite childhood memories is of you and Paul making homeade ice cream the old fashion way on Shelby and Linda’s porch as all we cousins, aunts and uncles played pitch or volleyball in the yard. It was a special treat when we all got together in the summer and seeing Kat & Paul made it even more so. Paul had a big influemce on Roy Z and he on me, We will all miss him and we will be praying for you and the family, May God Bless You, Mike
