Paul and I started school in the first grade together and graduated together. I have many memories of those years. Life separated us after that time but I would bump into him occasionally. He was a very decent good person and I'm sad today at the news of his passing. My sympathy to the family and hope they will take refuge in the Lord. We'll all see Paul again in a better time. I look forward to that day.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Oliger family. Paul and I were co-workers in the early-to-late 1980's and he was ALWAYS one of my favorites! He had a hearty-laugh, a smile on his face, and a different joke to tell everyday. Most of the years I worked with Paul I was in High School and College, and it was during that time another of our co-workers, Lester Pretty, Jr. dubbed me "School Boy", and that's a name that Paul called me from then on! I'd call the Democrat to speak to my mom Glenda and he would lay the phone down and I'd hear him say, "Glenda, "School Boy's" on line 1 for you"! Just a few months ago I called the Democrat, Paul answered the phone, recognized my voice and said, "School Boy, how you doing"? Man I'm going to miss that!!! Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't thank him for being there for my mom the last few years when she was going through some tough times. He was always helpful in giving her guidance handling things she hadn't been accustomed to handling on her own!! Paul was loved by many and will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace.....Bill(y) "School Boy" Roachell
