Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time of sorrow. Paul (Rufus) was like a brother to me for 46 years, married to my sister. I feel her pain and suffering and always will. Paul was a man of laughter, joy and giving. He never meet a stranger and always made his family a priority. His laughter, jokes will surely be missed here but will be heard in heaven forever. God bless you paul.
