I would also like to send my simpathy to Patti and Sarah. I worked with Paul at the Atwater Feedmil. Paul will always be remembered by many farmers and truck drivers who came through the feed mill. Paul had a great sense of humor and was able to get along with anyone. I never met anyone else with the good work ethic Paul had or for anyone who would make the time for other people first like he did.My memories of him will always be with me.
