I’ve only known Paul for a few years. I first met Paul and his late wife, Estelle, as customers at the Cafe in the Warren County Airport. Paul was a very kind man and he could carry on a conversation with the best of them. He will be missed by all of us at the Cafe. Now I know he is where he wanted to be – with his beloved Estelle.
My deepest condolences to your family . I am very sorry for your lose.

His niece, Sandy, and I grew up together and are best friends. I visited Estelle and Paul many times with Sandy throughout my younger years. Always enjoyed their company. He is now flying high with his beloved wife.
