Hey darlin,
You've been on my mind... more than usual. Some days I still feel like I can't breathe when I think about you.  The pain is still so raw.  I miss you every day. So much.   I don't think I've really been happy since before 2013. I wish I could just pick up the phone and hear your voice.  I'm trying to push forward,  one foot in front of the other.  But it's so hard.  I lost 3 of the most important people in my life and I don't know how to live "the new normal" everyone keeps talking about.  This photo was taken at Pinewood. It was a good day.  Happy.  Anyway,  I just needed to talk to you.  I miss you so much. Sending you all my love. ❤️

Well Daddy 3 years have come and gone. Us girls have been hanging out this AM went to George's and ate some corn beef hash. And now just keeping each other company. We have cried and laughed, and thought about you all morning.  As 11:11 came stupid Kim howls like a dog. Lol you would have  laughed. We love you so much daddy.  

Hey Darlin,
I drove past the old house today.  So many memories, and I can see you vividly there.  This was always our favorite time of the year, working in the yard together,  going to the mountains.  I miss you every day,  and I guess I always will.  I hope dad found you up there in heaven and that you're showing him all the best hunting and fishing spots.  I'm sending you my love and a big,  big hug.  

A million memories flood my mind, Your the best dad in the world. 2 years and almost 4  months later seems so long ago but yet seems like yesterday too. I think of u every single day I never thought I could live a day without you and here I am, here we all are struggling but living. Days are hard some days are unbearable but we push on I miss you and love always dad. I will keep you memory alive till we meet again. I love you and miss you so much dad

Happy birthday,  darlin! I wish I could say that to you, and see that grin you always got when you were happy. I miss your face,  I miss your laugh,  I miss the way tears would pour from your eyes when you were laughing so hard,  I miss your big bear hugs,  I miss calling you after a bad day and talking it through. You were always the best at listening and making me feel better. Mostly I just miss you.  I hope you're fishing at the biggest,  most beautiful lake up in heaven,  tying on your flies and landing the monster fish! I'm sending you all my love💗

Well daddy, it's been 2 years since you left us. And  we all continue to survive. Today of all days is the hardest of all. The grandbabies talk about how much they miss you, Elias says he's changing his name to popa. 💜 Brother has a striving business, Kim is working hard on school,  Steph is getting stronger everyday, me I'm me, kicking ass as usual.  But each of us cry often and remember your silliness but wish you were here. We know you are, just not physically.  Doll and I where just talking and laughing about how you would always blare the music in the morning Loud so we would all get up. Then act like you were so surprised to see us up early. Lol or how none our friends would stay over because you would not let us all sleep in. 🙄 The kids see white trucks with ladders and hope it's you.( Me too)  Well we love and miss you more and more but we are strong, thanks to you and mom. Xoxo See you later daddy.  

I can't believe it's been two years ago,  tomorrow.  This time of year always brings back so many memories- not because of your death,  but because of your life.  We always loved this time of year so much.  You were always larger than life to me.  You were so happy doing the simple things with me and the kids.  Fires in the fire pit,  riding the four wheelers, bbqing, camping,  anything in the mountains,  most of all fishing. I miss you every day,  and I have come to the realization I always will.  We had so many great years.. the good far outweighs the bad.  I miss you. You will always have so much of my heart with you.  

I'm Kasie, Paul's girlfriend. Over the last 4+ years I've been blessed with his love and affection.  Paul was a kind and caring man to all and was always willing to help anyone in need. I'll never forget,  his smile & his laugh.... his hugs & his heart! He taught me how to fish & throw darts. We spent many days riding his motorcycle and enjoying the mountains, going fishing and loving his grandbabies....all 12 of them! Together we built a successful business and recently adopted our puppy, Harley, from a local rescue. Paul spent hours training with her and then showing the kids her new tricks! He was a pro at everything he did. 
The time I had with him was priceless to me and I will forever hold all the many amazing memories close to my heart. Paul was my very best friend and I miss him dearly. ❤



I am Pauls eldest daughter Nicole.  I miss my dad so very much. That laugh the forget the world kind of hug. I will never forget all the laughs we had all the fires outside. The dreaded Flood and having to start over with him and our family pulling together and "Getting s*** done" as he would say. All of the important lessons he thought all of us. Daddy, you will always and forever be my hero. I love you so much and miss you even more. I could go on and on About how awesome and amazing daddy was.  RIP DAD TILL I HUG YOU AGAIN. 


Paul is my dad, I have so many memories of him, some really good memories like singing Grease at the top of our lungs, fires in the yard, big barbeques just because he wanted to,  long drives in the mountains, our lunch dates, him braiding my hair pulling super tight how I'd love for him to comb my hair like I was a little girl again. He is the best guy I have ever known. Always wanting to take care of everyone around him, making sure were ok no matter how old we are. We were always his babies and oh man does he love his grandbabies hes the coolest papa ever! My heart hurts, I can't believe he isnt with us I miss his laugh, his sarcasm I just miss my dad.
