Hey Paul, 
Well it’s been four years today since I had to say goodbye to you. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and miss you. A lot has changed in the last four years. Damien is now up there with you, I tried everything I could to keep him here with me but it just wasn’t meant to be. I’m guessing you needed him back, and as much as I miss him as he was my last remaining link to you I’m glad he’s not suffering here with me. Also Randy has joined you up there in heaven also, I bet you two are enjoying hanging out together again hopefully around bonfires like we all used to. I haven’t talked to your daughters in a while, but last time I did Stephanie said Scrappy was loving it up there with Amanda. I kind of quit calling them because I didn’t want to keep reminding them of their loss. I know they’re still gonna remember it as you were their father, but they didn’t need me reminding them every couple of months by calling. I hope you can forgive me for that. Anyhow, I just wanted to talk to you for a few minutes and let you know that I still think about you all the time and I still Love You even four years later. You were the only man that ever treated me like a lady should be treated and that in itself is something hard to forget. Until I see you again just know that you’ll always be in my thoughts and my heart. 

Love Always, 
Tray

Paul, I have so many wonderful memories with you and the boys that I will cherish for the rest of my life, but if I had to pick just one as my favorite, I would say it was our trip to Locust Grove. You were so happy to have us with you and we were so happy to be with you for a change while you were driving instead of being at home missing you. I’ll never forget you making me put Scrappy up on the dash of that Big Rig just so he could watch out the windshield. You always loved to shock me, and that did. I was so worried he was gonna fall off, but you were right, he just found the widest spot on it and curled up and enjoyed the view. Damien about drove us crazy, jumping from the sleeper to the front of the cab, but eventually he settled down on my lap like he usually would whenever we were all going somewhere and he couldn’t be on yours as you were driving. Then to top everything off, when we got to the hotel we had to sneak them in as the pet friendly room you usually stayed in was being remodeled. What a night trying to keep them hush hush at every little noise just so we didn’t get busted, we managed it well as a team. We always did make a good team, no matter what we were trying to accomplish. I’m going to miss all those times with my best friend from here on out. Scrappy is gonna be just fine with Amanda, you would be so proud of her and Steph tonight. Damien, as you know has always kinda been my boy, and he will be fine as well. You know I will treat him just as you did, and it means the world to me that you have always trusted me with two of your most precious treasures. I love these boys as much as you did, and like you always said, you know they are in good hands. I promise I will keep in touch with your girls, so I can learn of Scrappy’s new adventures and keep them updated on Damien. Rest easy my friend, your best buds are gonna be ok, so no need to worry. I’ll give you updates on them as well. I give your family my sincerest condolences in this time of loss! Love Always and Forever, Tray

Paul , where do I begin when I first met you I was like OH NO Tracy has found another dozy but as it turns out you are probably the best. Your crazy ideas and ways would get on my nerves and I’d want to smack the tar out of you but then I realized that you were just teasing me . I’d Like to Thank you for all of the memories and your thoughtfulness and caring you had for Tracy she will never find another like you and my sincere gratitude goes out to your girls and family May you rest in peace

Paul, When I first met you aprox five years ago, I thought oh no he is from New Hampshire lol, being that we used to live there the people up there are very keep to themselves, not very neighborly at all or really friendly in my opinion but it did not take long before I realized that you had made the move that fit your personality A good good Ole converted Southern Boy, Your Momma raised you right for sure you were a True Gentleman in every since of the word. You are the first and only person I ever trusted with my car not knowing you, you needed a way to evacuate during Irma after your new found Southern girl Pal informed you that the hole you dug under ground would not work for a hurricane bunker and that you would drown and couldn't bunker under ground for a FLORIDA HURRICANE, you were like well I can not evacuate I dont have a vehicle at the moment, I said well I got a bunch but they aren't registered, you said oh can I borrow one I said sure, you brought it back days later unharmed, will plenty of gas that it didn't have in it when you left. You always amazed me how no matter what resturant if paul wanted it or anyone at Paul's table wanted it and the server was busy you would just go get it yourself, first and only person I ever seen walk into the kitchen at road house and tap the chef on the shoulder, of course they didnt like that and asked you to leave the kitchen and you quietly respectfully responded with hold on one second please im almost finished talking to the chef However NOTHING holds a candle to the iguana you were going to catch me from down in Miami after telling me people were killing them due to over population you knew my love for animals and promised to bring me one "We" could save that was the plan until you attempted to catch one, lol I will never forget my phone ringing that day and I answered to I am sorry but your not getting an iguana lol I said oh no why, You said cause they are as long as your semi truck and in trying the iguanna stood up at you and chased you trying to attack you, you were screaming and running as fast as you could back to your truck, those things are mean, you replied, Man is thing scared me to death. I remember texting you and anything I ever needed you came through for me and my family. Your were One of only a couple of my true friends. You knew I had you, and I knew you had me no matter what, from computer repairs, to doggy sitting, dinners, Chinese outings, Our favorite food. To cookouts, to Rv repair, TRUE ANIMAL LOVERS, we were True Friends, even stupid petty dissagreements or missunderstandings we always squashed them and sorted them out. My heart is heavy in the tears I have cried since I found out you left us way to soon. I take solace and comfort in knowing your better off in heaven. I will cherish you, oir memories, and I will share the funny stories and keep your memory alive for the rest of my days. I was truly blessed to meet you, I am saddened that others did not get the chance to meet such an amazing friend. We started as aquaintenances, promoted to friends, and ended as Family. You will always be family, I am honored to call you Family. Until we meet again, please send me a penny from heaven so I know you made it, and keep my Momma and Daddy company, Thank you for being there for my family when I couldn't be, I love you Paul Anthony Bien ❤ my Converted Southern Friend aka Promoted Family member. God broke my heart to prove to me he only takes the best.Brandy Falagan and Family

Ma check out the photos I posted of him. I included the one where he and I were putting in the new clothesline and he insisted on installing it way above our heads and he made me take a picture to send you as a joke, telling you that you could no longer hang the clothes if you couldn’t reach the line. He was always the jokester, and he loved teasing you as much as he loved doing things he knew would shock me.
