Paul Clinton Westerby

Paul was a gentle, humble and kind man. He was a great neighbor, the type that you could count on. He was the manager of a telephone company and his staff would describe him as the best boss that anyone could have. He was very handy and was great at electrical work. He had many hobbies, which included playing the banjo, playing baseball, playing basketball and diving. Once, Paul saved June from drowning in the ocean and June’s brothers called him Saint Paul.
