Paul is on the left in the picture. On the right is my older brother Frank who passed in 2011. This is my small tribute to them.
Paul, 4th child and 3rd son in succession to the kingdom. Paul was very outgoing and always looking for a laugh. If you needed it and he had the means, he gave it to you. He married a county girl, Tracy (my favorite SIL) and raised 4 wonderful sons. I was closet to Paul, age difference was 2 yrs 3 months, but that closeness came later in life. I was in the Army stationed in Germany for the past two years. I was told my older sister was getting married and they wanted me to attend. SP4 in 1978 couldn't afford one ticket let alone two. Paul made arrangements where he paid the lions share and sent us two tickets. That began our adult relationship that was so special. My daughter and I drove from Ocala, Fl to northern Illinois for the service. It was a simple service, but it still overwhelmed me. To this day I still think of him when certain songs are played. I miss him immensely, but my Faith tells me we will be rejoined and live eternally with Christ our Lord.
