Condolences

Rhonda Hamilton McPhail:

Stuart and Laurie, my sincerest condolences to the whole family. Paul was a treasure and
I always think of him fondly. Many many years ago I sold paint to Paul and he would regal me with stories and jokes. I think I was one of the few women in the world that was not cowed by his big, intimidating character. We had many laughs. But come to think of it, I never did get the fresh Turkey he always promised me. Which is probably best as I know he’d leave it for me to kill. He was a well loved man and a great human being. My sympathies to Margaret, although I did not know her. Paul spoke of her often. And my mother always told me she was a great lady. She must have been to have married such a great man! You will all be in my prayers!

Jared :

So sorry for your loss.

I met Paul a number of times, always an intimidating fellow, but in retrospect I believe it was for show. I won him over with my wit & charm!! .... oh and gold, he liked I knew a bit about panning and gold..

I remember one time he pulled me aside and asked me if I was a good man, I replied I was/am, ... I think.. he stared at me for a bit then smirked, that was then end of the conversation. But for anyone who knew Paul, that was Paul. It took me a bit to figure that out, and I didn't figure it out on my own(the women in his life helped me out). Margaret would give me little boosts of confidence( she would tell me.. he likes you, while passing me pie...hahahaha)....

For the brief time I knew Paul, I respected him, he was a man of many talents and a wealth of knowledge.

rest in peace...

Jodi McMillan:

Papa, you big old stern, yet soft, lovable, yet "stone" cold farming gruff! We will forever miss you, and I will never forget you. You taught me so much and kept me on my toes growing up, and I will forever remember you trick/scaring us as we casually tried to stroll by your chair. Love you Papa, rest easy.
