I am truly sorry for your loss. The grieving is always for the survivors. Paul is with Donna now, a woman he always cherished. His pain is over and he is where he always believed he would be, in heaven. Paul was a great mentor for me. More on life than machining and a great friend. I will miss him and our conversations. I know he loved his family dearly and thought the world of them. Rejoice for him Shaun and family. RIP Paul. Kirk Torgerson

I had the distinct privilege of working with Paul at Cook for almost 20 years. I had many conversations with Paul over the years, some heated, some calm, but all interesting. Paul as well as being a perfectionist in his work always was active in his mind, thinking about what was right with the world and what was wrong with it. More often than not, we were in agreement. I have missed these conversations, but I cherish the memories of them and the fine person that Paul was. My condolences to all of his family and other friends, Paul was a great guy an has left a void that we will all need to work to fill.

The world is a sadder place without this colorful person whom I had the pleasure to work with at Cook. RIP my friend

My condolences to Sean and family! I had the privilege of having Paul in my life. The journey through his treatments brought us together to be good friends and I’m so proud to call my “Buddy”. The countless phone conversations touched my heart deeply and I will sure miss them. We got to vent, laugh and sometimes cry together as we eventually entered each other’s hearts in a very special way. He never hung up without saying he loved me. At times, it was an emotional roller coaster with his health but we would pray and things would be better. Pauls’ heart was so full of love. He loved and appreciated all of his family and friends. He had become part of the fabric of my life and I’m very blessed to have many wonderful memories from the short time on our train ride together. I will cherish what we had and I thank God for connecting us in this life. I am a better person because of him. I love you Paul, thanks for allowing me to be your friend and by having the honor to walk with you. Everyone should experience a special friendship like ours! R.I.P. and enjoy your eternal life in heaven!
