I am heartbroken. I was in BSF leadership with Karen for many years and in community group with Paul and Karen at Providence. I loved them very much and will miss them deeply. They are walking in heavenly places with Jesus and it comforts me to know I will see them again. They were both a wealth of faith, wisdom and knowledge. Their passing leaves a big hole for many. I am praying for all your family, for God’s peace, comfort, strength and healing. Kathy Adams

I was Paul's allergist for a number of years, and always enjoyed talking with him, including stories when he was a baseball scout. Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord...

Words cannot express our shock and sadness at the loss of our next-door neighbors, Paul and Karen. We could chat with them in the yard or at the fence about just about anything. Paul had a witty humor and was quick with his one-liners. When he asked about our gold mailbox, I told him I was trying to paint the flag but was sloppy, so I painted the whole thing, and since Robert went to Notre Dame, I could say it was on purpose. He quickly responded with, 'Well, that will make it easier for me to run it over then,' and we both laughed. We were blessed to have them as neighbors and we'll miss them dearly. May you rest in peace, Paul and Karen.
