My deepest sympathy to ALL Uncle Paul’s family In California. I have wonderful memories when my Aunt Mae brought me out there year after year to get to know my California family ! Many of those included special outings with Uncle Paul , one in particular was when he took me flying and let me fly the plane, I think I was 9 or 10 , but what an impression on me ! Thank you Uncle Paul for allowing us to come stay with you every year and make such special memories ! Rest In Peace until we meet again ! All my love ❤️❤️
