I would like to express my sympathy to the family of Paul Davis. We knew Paul from Church. (Faith Christian) He was a very friendly and kind person. Paul was always eager to help elder church goers from their auto’s to the doors leading into the church lobby. If I noticed this kindness, I know our Lord and Savior did as well.
Our heart goes out to Judy and family in the passing of Paul. We were surprised to hear. He was a friend to so many! Love to all. He will be fondly remembered.
Very sorry to hear this,Judy.Paul was always one of my best friends.I sure will miss him.
His love for his class of QHS1962
was easy to see as each reunion drew near. Willing to help out in any way. Rest In Peace-Paul.
My condolences to Paul’s wife and family. I have been honored to be able to know Paul since 1983 when I met him in the national guard. He was a good man and a great friend. My he rest in peace.
So sorry to hear of Pauls’ passing. Paul was always a very cooperative and respectful guy who was cheerful and did his job to the best of his abilities. He was a pleasure to work with! He will be missed. Sorry I can’t be there to say goodbye to him.
Rest in peace, Paul!
