I just learned of Paul's passing. We worked together for 4 years at Fruit of the Loom. He was a great guy. I'm so sorry to hear of this.
I was so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. We were co-workers at Ark Dept of Health for 15 years or so and shared an office for several of those years Paul was always asking about my family and was so helpful in so many ways. He will be sorely missed.
I am still in shock over Paul's passing. I worked with him at ADH. He was an awesome person and friend. Anything you needed help with your computer her was either there to fix it or helped you over the phone. He helped me lots of times and was considered more that a coworker, he was a friend!! He always asked me about my girls and grandkids!! Even though I retired almost 3 years ago I always thought of him, he took care of everyone!!! RIP my friend Paul, you will never be forgotten!!!
Terry, I am still in total shock and disbelief. You will be a great loss. You and Paul are loved.. prayers for comfort
Terry, we are so sorry for your loss. God bless you and comfort you. Love you cousin. Paul, wish we could have spent more time with you. Rest in peace!💔
