    Our sincerest condolences. Paul was a true gentleman who deeply loved his family, and unselfishly shared his time and talents with many people, especially the West Fine Arts students and sponsors. We benefitted so much from his and Trudy’s total commitment to making all the Fine Arts programs outstanding.

    Trudy, God bless you and your family during this difficult time. We will miss Paul more than you know. The calm demeanor and courageous attitude that you both showed while enduring MS for so long is an example for all who knew Paul. God has a special place for him in heaven where he is now free of the burden of that awful disease.

    Our deepest sympathies to you, Stepanie and Megan.
