I was so shocked to hear of Paul's passing and found out too late of the memorial service date.  I met Paul through the East Valley Chamber and introduced him to our referral group, REG, which we both attended for over a decade.  He helped me with two or three plumbing problems over the years and we had just gone to lunch together about  a month ago.  Always ready to be your friend whether you agreed with him philosophically or not.  He really had a passion for his life and for his family.  I wish I could have seen him in a cowboy action shooting competition.  My sincere condolences to Annette and kids.  Gayle and I will pray for your comfort and resilience.

I met Paul through our businesses.  While sparky's and plumbers don't usually get along, Plumber Paul and I hit it off, right off the bat.  I'm not a very religious man, while Paul was very strong in his faith.  Even approaching our beliefs in a higher power from different points of view, we were always able to share our (often opposing) opinions.  Often we each came away with a new respect for ideas from the "other team".  The part I loved about Paul is that he carried his spirit in his heart.  His tolerance for others, his frank openness, and his engaging personality are attributes that I aspire to.

Annette, Alex, and Mandy,
Please accept my deepest and heartfelt condolences.  It is just so hard to understand why such a bright star should fade from our view so early.

I first met Paul through TLC. He was always joking and laughing. After many conversations and friends talking with Paul, we welcomed him as a Murray Chamber member. He was kind to offer tips and answer questions regarding plumbing without expecting business in return. 

We will miss Paul and his laughter, dry sense of humor and kindness. 
Sending the Peterson healing prayers during this time.

First I'd like to send my condolences to Alex and the Peterson family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. 
I'm sure Paul is playing hockey with all the great players in heaven. No one will ever play with more heart or a bigger smile than what Paul did!!
I'm sure they had a seat waiting for him on the bench!!
Rest In Peace my friend!!

Our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Lefty Pete.   He will be greatly missed.

I am very sorry to hear of Paul's passing. He was so friendly and kind to me and Nick when we first moved in, 16 years ago. I'll miss seeing him and Annette  sitting on their chairs in the front yard, keeping up with all the goings-on in the neighborhood. I wish I could attend the funeral, but I will be out of town, taking my mother to her home town before she passes. We will miss seeing you around, and the neighborhood won't be the same without you.

I remember Paul would call me all the time and the first thing he woumd always say was: Hey Bret, how you doing brother? He would always ask how the family was as if he was checking in on us. Paul was always the kind of friend that would drop everything to lend a helping hand. In the few years we knew eachother from the day I met him on the Ice at a hockey game we were both playing in against each other we just seemed to be great friends from the start. We were supposed to hang out at the Utah Grizzlies game on the 24th of March 2018, you sir will be missed  my Brother. Until we meet again, you have an amazing family I salute you always. I will be playing this weekends military game in your honor Brother Paul. 

Love you and miss you like crazy,
Bret Gash

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  

I remember Paul from time in high school and even in junior high.   I really thought a lot of Paul. I'm so sorry for his passing. 

Thangs for the hat,  Paul🏒he was always so giving, he'd give you the shirt off his back! We'll miss you around the hockey rinks!!🏒❄
