It is so sad that only after Paul's passing did I realize what a good man, husband & father he was.   
I can only hope he has forgiven me for always driving 🚗 way too fast when coming home.  
We are here should Debbie or any of the girls need anything.
Warmly, Denise Thomas 

My Heart goes out to you Aunt Debbie, he was surely my favorite Uncle.  When I was a kid he would always pretend to steal My nose! I'll always remember his infectious smile and his way of always being happy and jovial.

I met Paul through my place of employment. Every time he would come to the office, he would spend extra time just to visit with me and catch up on our personal lives. So, of course, he quickly became very near and dear to my heart. He always greeted me with his infectious smile and a sweet hug. Through Paul I met Debbie and Nikki who were just as warm and welcoming as Paul.  I’m so sorry. My heart goes out to you. Paul will be dearly missed. 

We send you our deepest sympathy,  dear Debbie♡ Paul will certainly be missed. He was so helpful whenever we needed him. Could fix anything!! It became a saying in our household to "Call Paul"!! We called him many times. 
He was such a talented plane builder & flyer! We know how much he will be missed at the flying field. 
RIP Paul♡♡ You were one of the best!!!

Well Paul was my first employee after getting my painting contracting license here in Oregon.  He really helped when I ran across dry rot and other problems that I was not use to finding.  He had a good trick to solve any dilemma. And he knew where to get anything.  Paul built me a garage during the winter months when I was slow. After Paul retired from big projects he could still hang doors or solve other problems.  While painting side by side we would talk about his growing up days in Kerby and how the hippies had taken over when he was in the military. I loved the  story about how the Starks family came to Kirby with the truck breaking down.  I could never understand how he could work in the cold  but I guess you just get use to it.  I can certainly understand why Paul persued Debbie with such tenacity as she is who he wanted. Just don’t give up I think would be a good motto for his life as he was a tenacious person. I hope Debbie will stay in my life at least by telephone as she needs to stay active in life. Tom Wilson. I will miss Paul. I also think it is a credit to Paul that Nicki calls Paul Daddy

I will miss Paul's wonderful smile!! He always made my day happy. He was so much help to Debbie and Nicky! I know he will be missed by everyone who knew him!! I know he is now helping God!! 

Paul was a met him in '73 kind of friend. We were roommates for a couple of years, then went our separate ways. I went to Alaska and bumped into Paul again in Wasilla. We shared some good times, then went our separate ways again. Finally came south for the last time and sure enough - there was Paul with a brand new wife. Debbie and I hit it off right away - we were instant friends. I loved them both and Nikki too.


Paul did the flowers for my wedding. He did a great job and it was the best day of my life!!!! He was a good man and was always there for Debbie and the kids and grandkids.... Miss you Paul. 


Although I didn't get to personal meet Paul, I heard the nice things that Debbie would say at her Salon, when things needed to be fixed Paul was there to do it.  Sounds like he was a great choice!!!  My sympathy Debbie & Family.   Hugs, Connie

I joined the Rogue Eagles 3 yrs ago and had the pleasure of working with him at my first airshow in 2018. 
Paul was immediately friendly and helpful and I always enjoyed seeing him during the following years.
He always wore that friendly smile and great handshake and made you feel like a good ol' friend.
People like that are hard to find and it's such a shame that they have to leave us...I guess God had better plans waiting for him.
My thoughts and prayers go his family....to lose such a wonderful person is hard to comprehend.  May fair winds always be with you.  Eric Kirby 


Paul was born in Kerby Oregon in a house our father and grandfather built.  The house was on a street near Kabax Saw mill and later was sold to Kabax. When the saw mill was torn down so was the house.    Paul grew up on Pudgetville hill in a house our dad and mom built on Hathaway drive in Kerby.  Paul graduated from IVHS.  I was in the first grade when Paul was born.

Paul was such a fun loving, kind man. Always ready to lend a hand to anyone and always seemed to enjoy life. He loved his model airplanes and was always a part of the many events at the air field.  My husband and I always enjoyed spending time with Paul and Debbie, they always made us feel welcomed.  
I send my love and deepest condolences to Debbie and family

One beautiful fall afternoon, I walked into Debbie's new hair salon that she was preparing to open. In the back corner, I saw a familiar face. Paul was sitting there, looking amused! I had just left him in the mountains of southeast Oregon! We both worked for the same private contractor, measuring and evaluating timber in the field. I had no idea he had met my aunt and was engaged to marryher! Welcome to the family! 

We went out to the lake on a summer day and I took the little wood sailboat out for a ride that Paul built. It was so funny having two grown adults in such a small boat. lol Later that night we decided to stay overnight and we all played Uno until the middle of the night. You you always be in our thoughts,  Pops.
