Sometimes you go through life and someone plops themselves into the middle of it!!  I sure am going to miss you Paul!!  All the times you jumped onto my aircraft and we laughed and sighed.. shook our heads and talked of retirement..  You always, ALWAYS!, made me smile!! My sincerest condolences to family and friends.. Prayers for peace that passes understanding..

Paul,
The world really lost one of the good guys. Happy we had the short time we had to know you as a brother and a friend. Gonna miss you till we meet again. Cherie and kitty's too.

We always enjoyed seeing Paul on our dog walks.  Paul was so friendly and always had a smile.  A wonderful neighbor.  He will be so missed.
Ron and Cindy Edmonds

Paul, 
Steven and I have had the greatest pleasure in getting to know you over this past year and have enjoyed and will always remember all of the wonderful conversations we've had. You had such a magnetic personality and cared so much about your neighbors and community. You will always be in our thoughts and will truly be missed.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family...our hearts are with you always.  
With Love,
Cherie

Thoughts and prays to the Rossow family, may you find comfort in the memories of your Son,brother uncle. He sounded like a very caring man, this world need more Paul's. god bless your family at this time.

Paul was a person who stopped at nothing to help anyone at ant time.  He would always listen to whatever you had to say anytime you wanted to talk and never interrupt.  He never made fun of anyone based on their look, their clothes, where they lived or what they did for a living.  He was extremely well knowledged in many mechanical fields, and had lots of maintenance experience under his belt.  He could find you the best bargains on just about anything you were looking for and he never ceased to amaze me how he found out all the information he acquired.  He will be greatly missed.  The world needs millions more like Paul.  Godspeed and say hi to my grandparents, father, Jeff Cottage and John Lennon for me.

Paul was a brilliant man, loving, caring and completely devoted to helping his dogs become the best leader dogs possible. Paul was generous and he was thoughtful. He loved to tell stories, and his eyes would light up just like a child's when he would get to his favorite part. I wish that more people had the opportunity to know him the way I had. He was my friend. Words cannot express how truly sorry I am that he is no longer here with us. During these difficult times, I hope his family can find some comfort in knowing how Paul has touched all of our hearts. Rest in peace my friend.

Paul,
We feel so blessed to have been able to call you "friend" . You touched our lives as only a true friend could. Until we meet again... May the road rise to meet you, the wind be always at your back, the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields, until we meet again... May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Love and Peace.

Larry, Carol & Family,
Very sorry to hear about your loss. Memories are made for a reason and it's best to reflect on those at a time like this. Never easy in any way to lose someone you love. Prayers to all of the family.

With love and from Muriel & Clive in England.
There are so many memories in our hearts and minds of Paul - the little boy we first knew at 7 years when he came to visit his Mum's birthplace for the first time- always eager to help and keen to hold your hand constantly. Happy hours shared on many holidays around the world.  Paul  with camera in hand making us smile and laugh.Always trying to help us with good grace even when we didn't really appreciate it!.
We have hoped every day that he would get well to enjoy the future he deserved. So glad to have been there to spend time with him and the family at the wedding in July. We deeply regret not being able to get there to say our goodbyes to Paul - but really he will  be with is in our hearts and minds always. May the road rise up to meet you Paul and may the wind be always at your back. Rest easy dear friend.  Muriel & Clive. Heswall Wirral, England

"I am deeply saddened by your loss.  I will always remember our airport talks, cars and dogs.  You were a great friend to everyone who knew you.  I am grateful I was able to know you.  Gone to soon.

I am saddened by your going.  It was great to have known you as a cousin and to known what great help you were to family in Michigan. God Bless you and yours.  Marlene(Prentice)Carpenter and family.

We are saddened by your loss, Paul was always a patient, friendly and helpful neighbor.  It was our privilege to live next door to the Rossow family for many years.  God bless you at this time.  The family of Joseph and Rosanne Martell

Paul we all have many happy memories of you always being kind and helpful to us on our visits to the USA, always attending our weddings whether in the UK, France or Argentina and joining us on a number of holidays.
It seems so unfair after your battle in the hospital to be taken when you seemed to have made it. You will be greatly missed by your family in the UK, Jackie and Mike, Paula, Lee and family, Ysabel, Mark and family and Sole, Alec and family.

Paul, it's so hard to say good bye, I prefer to say till we meet again.  You were one of my oldest and dearest friends.  I will hold in my heart the memories of our times together, and our long conversations.  I will miss you.  Say hi to Greg Pines up there, and we' ll see you soon.  
Much love, Patti

Paul, we will miss you.  We are so very grateful to have known you.We will always    remember your friendship , kindness,help and  care you gave to our family.We pray for you to be at peace. God Bless.
