My thoughts and prayers go out to Bobby and all of those who were close to and loved Paul. I was his Godfather and even though Paul's time on this earth was short he touched so many people with his upbeat attitude and perseverence in life. As Paul enters this phase of his life with God he is still with us in our memories and those memories will live forever. And so to you Paul I do not say good bye... I say "Good Journey and I will see in the next life."

We were so blessed to have Paul in Garden City! I always tried to plan my banking so he would be my teller...I missed him after he left that position. It was always a joy to see him out in the community and of course, he ALWAYS had a big smile. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear about Paul. He was a great guy. I met him about ten years ago when we worked at Lewis Drug in Sioux Falls together and we remained friends even after he moved. He will be greatly missed.
