I knew your dad and brother from American Century. He was always a bright spot in my day when I had the pleasure of working with him. I’m so sorry for you loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Paul was loved by everyone that knew him at American Century. Always happy, jolly & just a nice guy. So very sorry for your loss.
I worked with your dad. He was always smiling and willing to help. Lots of laughs. I’m so sorry for your loss. It was a tough road and I hope you all find comfort and peace.
Paul never knew a stranger. He would give the shirt off of his back for anyone at any time because he had the biggest heart and the kindest soul. Paul will be missed. Rest in peace sweet man. Until we meet again.
I had the pleasure of working with Paul at American Century. He was such a gentleman – always kind, positive and made my day when I had the chance to interact with him. Sending my deepest sympathy to the family.
Paul was the first “local” I met when I decided to buy a house near Parkville. He and I became firm friends in the 6 years I lived in the area. He was all of the things you would want in a friend. Funny, considerate, dependable and honest. We disconnected a little after I moved to Colorado but I would always make sure he knew when I was in town and he would always make sure we met up. Love you brother.
I worked on Paul’s team at American Century. He was always cheerful, kind and very patient! He was also a great sport during our white elephant gift exchanges, our team outings playing laser tag. I’m truly sad and miss him, and I wish to extend my sincerest condolences to your family.
