We started bowling on the same league as Paul about 5 years ago but never really got to know him until a couple years ago. Such a nice man, quiet and fun sense of humor. Taken way too early. We’re going to miss you Paul. Deepest sympathies to Kathy and his family.

Kathy, I am so sorry for the loss of your love “Paul”. I will miss seeing him come in the office (Schmitt’s). I regret that I will not be able to come to the visitation because I am having surgery on Thurs. Take Care, Jodi Barrett (Schmitt’s Animal Hospital). P.S thank you for calling the office to let us know of Pauls death.

Ill miss this guy forever.. he was always there for me (without the words)... When I got my 299 game in bowling, there was no question he would get his 300... It's just who he was. Loving, competitive, Dad.

So sorry to hear of my pal "Pauy" passing away. We shared fond memories and laughs for many years while working together. Paul was always there when I needed help (and with computers the Lord knew I needed it). I am so grateful that Paul came to visit me in the U.P. Rest in peace my friend.
