    Joann and family: .My deepest sympathies to you on Paul's passing. I worked with your Father when he managed a little restaurant in Morristown back in 1970. It was my first job making $1/hr. Worked with him again at Dog 'n Suds near where I grew up. Jo Ann you probably remember those times. Paul had a wonderful sense of humor but sometimes I could not tell whether he was joking or not. He certainly knew how to work as he was not one to sit and watch us work. He always pitched in to help! I am now living in Memphis TN and working as a Speech Therapist but I remember those couple summers with fondness much because of Paul. I hope that you can find comfort in your memories and support by your commitment of family. May God bless you all.

    To his family: we enjoyed working with Paul during his time as a leasing agent at Marietta Coal Co. in St. Clairsville. He was always a gentleman who spoke lovingly of his family. May God comfort you in your sorrow.
