Can't believe it's been ten years.
Paul taught me way more then l realized at that time. He was the kindest and most gentle man l've ever met. Not to mention his vast knowledge of almost any subject and obvious superior memory.
I will always treasure the "guys only" trip we made to the West Jefferson, NC house to construct an attic deck inside our garage.
He provided invaluable Civil Engineering guidance and hammer time building this structure.
One amusing story was us purchasing a box of raisin bran cereal which was one of Paul's favorites.
Every morning in WJ, we ate this, but never encountered a single raisin. A few days later, we uncovered a small bag of raisins buried in the box's bottom.
Seems Paul forgot to tell me that this brand requires you to open the bag and distribute into the box !
We laughed a lot over that.
Looking back, l regret not being more patient during the early stages of his altheimers.
He knew how bad it would become from his family history.
Rest in peace Paul. You are remembered.
