I met Paul while riding Sunrail for the past three and a half years.  He was always kind and loved to talk which was always a pleasure. But I will remember him most for the great hugs they always made my day so much better.  Paul your smile, laugh, and HUGS will be truly missed.  RIP my friend.

Dear Paul I am so  glad that I got to know you .  You are such a wonderful guy, I know everyone will miss seeing you as much as I will even though I didn't get to see you a lot. You have the kindest heart imaginable and I am grateful that you were Nancy's friend whenever she really needed one.  You will truly be missed.  I send my condolences to your family in this terrible time of losing you and hope  they know you are resting peacefully in the hands of the Lord.  

I didnt know Paul for very long, but he was one of the very finest examples of human kindness I have ever encountered. An extremely friendly person that would be honored to help anyone, anytime. He will be missed dearly by me and many, I am sure.

Paul was one of the nicest guys you could meet. You felt like you knew him your whole life.
He will be sadly missed.

Paul was loved by so many friends, Family, Grandchildren and Coworkers at KCS Railroad at his last hometown of Stonewall/Shreveport Louisiana.  We will all miss him but he will be greatly missed by his 5 grandchildren that he dearly loved and his stepchildren Amanda and David and his Ex wife Janice. Even though he lived far from us these last few years, he was just a phone call away, a text or coming to watch the grands playing baseball.  Rest in Peace Paul.

I will remember his friendly smile and we all had our day off to a better start because of his cheerful disposition. My prayers and thoughts are with the family and coworkers. May you all know God holds you close and find comfort in each other.

Rest In Peace Brother Paul, you certainly were taken from us too soon. I'll miss giving you those "roll-by-inspections" and the friendly banter in the crew room... Peace My Friend.

I will miss Paul’s famous catch phrase, (“That’s right, that’s right!!!”) I will miss the fact that he seemed to know everything that was going to happen at work before anyone else. I will miss how he would get his steps in, just before leaving the station. But I will miss most of all his selfless spirit. Paul would give the shirt off his back to help people out. I only knew him within the confines of work but he was always smiling and laughing. He genuinely cared about others. He will always be a part of our Sunrail family and my deepest condolences to his family.  He is in a better place, that we know, but if I know Paul he’s trying to convince someone up there to provide divine intervention for his beloved Chiefs...RIP Paul...I’ll root for them this year

I don't know what to say, he was my best friend, the best "guy girlfriend" a woman could have!! 
We had so many good times and laughs Paulie, and you held my hand and gave me a hug when I needed it, and scolded me when I need it too! You always showed me my worth and made me feel loved!!  I can't even describe how much you meant to me and how much I will miss you!  I hope they have "Bloody Mary's" in heaven, but I bet they aren't as good as mine :-)
Love you forever....
