I had the pleasure of taking care of Paul and he was such a wonderful guy. A smile that could brighten up the darkest day. May you rest in peace,free from pain. I'll never forget Christmas morning and the smile on your face while you enjoyed your presents. A memory I will carry with me always. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
