ValjeanI remember many good and happy times when we were kids. Vacation Bible School at Craycroft Baptist Church, camp outs and church putting in the mountains. and your mom and as my Sunday School teacher's. Always enjoyed the Baker's, Murphy's and Carther Families, and your aunt in her little bus house. Some of my fondest memories are of our parents singing. I have some old movies you may enjoy seeing. I will be glad to see your dad and all of our loved one's one day!

There's so much that can be said on how great of a person he was. I was taught so many things from my grandpa, that I still carry with me today. Most of all how kind & gentle of a Godly man he was. Both my grandparents have been role models for me & I love them very much. I will never forget him or let him out of my heart.

Aunt Helen and Val,

I remember Uncle Paul being one of the kids. We all love it when they came to visit. We gave him some sour candy once and you can just imagine his baby blues just about popped out of his head. He was always such a fun and sweet man. He is greatly missed. He was always ready to help out if he was needed. I remember after my Dad died, and they came to visit, he was always in the middle of one project or another. He always had his tools handy. :D

Aunt Helen, Val, Mom, Dad, Verla, Dorothy:
What a legacy the Carruthers, Baker, Murphy, Jones & Lewis families have!  I am blessed beyond all things explainable to have been born into this family.  It is with only fond memories that I remember growing up next door to Uncle Paul and Aunt Helen.  As I said at his funeral, I was clearly his favorite :) I will miss his hugs and smiles.  I look forward to seeing him again in Heaven. May we live our lives for Jesus and look forward to Heaven.

Dear Valjean,
as teenagers back in the 60's i only remember your dad's smile ..he was always
a "friendly dad " when i was at your house...you are in my prayers..love, jennifer twiss

Aunt Helen, Valjean and Bob, We were very sad to hear the news of Uncle Pauls Passing. I am very Proud of his service and and the sacrifice's he had made for our great nation. My Family and I were delighted to have been able to see him and spend some time with him and you all. Uncle Pauls stories and his music and our family get togethers when I was little listening to him and Uncle Hank and Grandpa Baker play their music will always be a wonderful memory for me. I hope they are playing together now putting on a great show. Sending you all our thoughts and prayers Love Richard Joyce, Jared ,Jeremy and Lyn.

Dear Val & Robert,

When I think of your dad, I think of cowboy boots, belts with large western buckles and fun music.  What a special guy and I am sorry I will not get to visit with him again.  Your pain is great, I know.  Please know you and all your family are loved.  Give a special hug to Helen.  Mike share these sentiments with me.

Love, Cathy Servie

Val
   Your dad was not only my brother -in - law , but a great friend. I have known Paul for 58 years, and have been his next door neighbor, for 55 years. He was one of many friends that help build our home, back in the mid 50s. I will always remember his music, laughter and smile, over the years. He will be missed very much.We will remember his family in prayer.

 Dear Val, We really enjoyed having your Mom and Dad join us when we had our SOS get togethers.   We will miss your Dad when we get together.   Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.  Our heartfelt sympathy is with you.
Todd and Joan Wildermuth

Your Dad was always so friendly.  He seemed to have such joy in life...and his music.  We still remember the time your Dad and Mom provided the music at your party in Denver.  They had just as good a time as the people listening to them!  What a wonderful time to go to Heaven, right during the Easter celebration.  Heaven's music will be even more beautiful now.  Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.  Rick & Becky

 Dear Val thank you for sharing your parents at SOS. Ken enjoyed the teasing about the military from your Dad. We spoke often about your parents and how amazing they were. We know your Dad will be missed greatly. We love you and send our sympathy for your loss. Ken and Caroline

I loved Uncle Paul so much ~ My first husband David and he had so much fun playing guitars together. Now they are both in heaven with Jesus. One time he gave David $20.00 and told him to take me out to dinner~ he was so generous.  After David went to be with the Lord, Uncle Paul let me tag along on his and Aunt Helen's motorhome trips, along with my two little dogs!  We had such a good time together and it helped me with the sorrow of losing David.  I know Tucson Baptist Temple will be missing one of their best Ushers ever!  God bless you, Uncle Paul~ we'll see you in heaven some day!

We will miss Paul as he was a joy be be around and we liked to eat together when we could get it planned.  Helen, you two are like family too us.  Val and Robert, best friends, our love it sent to you and our sympathy.  Val, my father passed away on the same day except 11 years ago.  Your Daddy was a great man.

Val,

I'm so sorry about your Dad. Thoughts and prayers

My daddy was my hero.  I told him that the morning he passed away.  He was a bronze star and purple heart hero in WWII.  He had an 8th grade education but wiser and smarter than many people with college degrees.  I will miss him everyday of my life but know he is in heaven with my brother and other family members.  No more cane, oxygen machine and pain.  I am just so selfish and wish he was still here.  I was so honored to have him for 89 years.  I love you, Daddy.  You gave me so much and taught me lessons that made me the person I am today.  xoxoxox forever!!!!!!!!!  I was your Valjean/Spanky/Sissy
