Cindy, I am so sorry to hear about Paul. He was such a great guy and I always enjoyed spending time with the both of you. May he rest in peace. Love you friend 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Our sincere condolences to the entire family. May all your happiest day be in your thoughts and prayers.
I’m Paul and Cynthia’s Sister-In-law; married to Cindy’s brother, David. The first time I met Paul was when Cindy brought him back to her hometown of Peoria, IL, for their wedding. On that occasion Paul was surrounded by many total strangers, but we all quickly realized that you only had to meet Paul to become his friend. Over the years the best times were the occasions when we brought our families together to celebrate and make new memories. And of course, those special times were always made better because of Paul’s wonderful sense of humor. Paul will be greatly missed, but I think we will always remember Paul’s special love for his family. I hope the example he set for everyone will never be forgotten.
Cindy and Family
I’m saddened to hear of Paul’s passing. I always enjoyed the time I shared with you two. I’m sending my deepest sympathies and prayers. May God give you strength and love at this difficult time.

I worked with Paul (and Cindy) for a couple of years at a real estate office more than 15 years ago. I was young and new in the job, and remember Paul being so kind, friendly and talkative. He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. He brought a feeling of warmth and family to the workplace. My deepest condolences to Cindy and family for your loss.
I am so sorry to hear of Paul’s death. My sympathy and prayers to all the family.
