I will always remember my Uncle Paul. He knew how to have fun and how to laugh. My fondest memories of my childhood are with him and his family. I don't know if I would have learned how to dance if not for the improntu dance classes in the living room. You will always be remembered and missed. - Posted by: Doreen Gallagher (Niece) on: Nov 25, 2013

Sorry to hear of your brother's passing Willy. My condolences on your loss. Siblings never leave us. They are sent to watch over us. Look to the skies once in awhile. You just might find him throwing the dice. L. Gyde - Posted by: Laurie Gyde () on: Nov 25, 2013

Uncle Paul, you were my favorite uncle. You knew how to laugh and how to have fun. My greatest childhood memories include you and your family in them. I will always remember all the camping our families did, and I have to say that my sister and I wouldn't know how to dance if it weren't for those improv dance classes in the living rooms. You will be missed but always remembered. - Posted by: Doreen Gallagher (Niece) on: Nov 23, 2013
