Hello Judi. Stumbled across this beautiful page for Paul when searching my Fathers name online. I see He wrote quite often to Paul on here. He was so fond of Him and really loved Him.
My Dad passed on September 10th, 2021. Guess He was right in His last post to Paul that He would be seeing Him soon. I think He was broken hearted. Really missed His Family and Friends that had passed.
I miss Him dearly every day and know your heartache. I hope all is well with You. I remember the really neat candy trains and houses you used to build and how much I really enjoyed going to your home when I was a child. Great memories for Me.
Just wanted to say Hello. Mom (Ursula) is hanging in there. It hasn’t been easy for Her as you know how that goes.
Take care and if you still have her number it is the same as it always has been

HAPPY BIRTHDAY big guy. Miss you a lot but I know things are better with you there, than here. I hope my brother has visited you since his passing in August. I picture all of you, Olson, Connoy, Stonebraker, my brother John, are having a big party. Love you all, and it won't be too long until we're all together again.

It's so good to see and read Judi's notes to you. They bring back such fond memories of our times together; even though I have your pictures pinned to the wall in front of me, at my desk, as a reminder. Hopefully, my mom and brothers have dropped by to say hello. You will have another visitor soon as my brother John, who you know well, will be there to say hello as his long term illness is taking him. I know you will greet him with a big hug. Love you brother! Save a tee time for us.

I forgot how much older you are than me! You're 77 and I'm still 75. I forgot there is such a difference between our ages. You must have been held back a couple years; or maybe I was so smart I skip a couple of years. I'm surprised you hung around with a youngster like me. (oops! Ursula just reminded me I'll be 76 in 11 days). Miss our times together buddy. 

We're going to be celebrating our great grandson's 1st birthday on March 14th (Johnston's son). I wish you could be there but I know you'll be looking down from your place in heaven. Maybe Nasser's there with you by now-he passed in December-enjoying a good round of golf.  Love and miss you friend.

Well here we are again, another year. Hard to believe as time passes so quickly. It's funny how fast it goes at our age. Remember when we were seventeen and it felt like it took five years to get to eighteen? There are only two of us (Jim Reale) remaining from our old group. We talk about those good time when we're together and it's almost like you are with us. I don't think it will be too much longer when we're back together so save us a tee time. Love you buddy!

Sorry I haven't visit in awhile but I see your picture on my wall each day. You know, the one of us golfing where I kick your butt. Oh, that could be any one of many! Love you buddy, and miss those occasions, and so much more. By now, you're probably being visited by Hal, who joined you recently. Only two of us left now; Jim R. and I, and we'll always remember those good times we all shared together. Put in a good word for me, if you can think of any. God's grace be with you!  Lee

April 18,
There are moments when I wish I could bring you down from heaven to spend the day with you just one more time, give you one more hug, hear your voice again and kiss you goodbye. One more chance to say “I love you!” Your Hugger

You are now 75 in spirit world. We all missed you Valentines Day but got the beautiful roses from Jolie. She and her mom are such sweethearts. I think about you every day when I hear strange noises or when our light goes on and off by itself, I know you’re there. Oh, thanks for the Christmas shelf the other night. Scared the #$& out of me. I thought the patio windows were breaking, but it was the glass decorations on the shelf. My fault for asking you to show me a sign! It’s Ok I feel better knowing you are here.  xoxoxo. Love you Hugger

Hi Sweetheart, I try hard not to be home and remember this day every year as I know how difficult it was for you as it was for me. But here I am home alone watching a movie about a woman who lost her husband 2 years ago.  Want you to know that I love you and miss you every day. Your Hugger

Miss you every day!! You are a good man!!

Happy 2nd Birthday in Heaven Sweetheart
Missed you a lot this year. Still getting used to alone. Hope you are happily celebrating in Heaven and enjoyed your party today here on earth with Mom and I and my Cherry Rose Cake and Eggplant Parm that you kindly told me you liked, once? Thoughts today of our first date at the Fireside. First of many. Its not there anymore, but the happy memories still are. Love you forever, Your Hugger (((***)))

We are best friends and always think of the times we spent together. The many rounds of golf, with Nasser, throughout all of Southern California. Our laughs of joy, our tears of sorrow we shared. The arguments, there were many, that passed with times as they always do with brothers. Our times in the Army with the trips we took, together with our wives, in Europe. Especially, the one to Amsterdam with our wives, and John Connoy (I hope you've meant him in heaven);the night at the Red-light district. You grabbing the breast of the statue in the park; we laughed are heads silly-and I have proof. Nasser has always regretted not seeing you more and talks of you, always. Good bye dear friend, for now, until we meet again. Hopefully, many years from now. Your brother, Lee.

They'll never take those days at Ramona away from us, there were a lot of them!! You were special, and always will be!!!

I had worked briefly with Paul in Gardena and always enjoyed his childhood stories.Rest in Peace.

Thinking of you!! Your a good man Paul Penn!!

Happy Birthday Sweetheart

Today is a beautiful warm sunny day made just for you. This is your first birthday in heaven with God and the angels and your mom and my dad, Uncle Ray, Connoy and Bob. I imagine you are golfing or surfing with the guys. I am happy that you are no longer suffering. But very sad because I miss you and can't celebrate with you.
 If I could have just one wish come true today, I would wish you back here so we could spend the day together. Your perfect day - big breakfast at Coco's and drive down to Carlsbad or Dana Point or even a boatride to Catalina.
 I'm sending you roses. Jolie brought roses from you Sunday on Valentines Day because thats what you always did every Valentines Day and every birthday for all us girls. How many guys do that? You made every special day even more special. I wish I could do that for you and we could enjoy them together. I love you and miss you every hour of every day. Happy Birthday Sweetheart

For Paul's very special day, his birthday, we wish him GOD's grace and peace for eternity.

We thank Judy for her friendship and her patience. Our love and condolences to her for her loss.

Paul and I became, and were, best friends from our first weeks in high school. We played sports together for the four years. He could run circles around me in basketball, and usually did, but I could bully him in football, and usually did.

While we didn't join the US Army together, coincidentally, we ran into each other in Mainz, Germany, while he was in line at the Post Exchange. We shared a few leaves/trips together with our wives, while there, with other friends we met up with. He was one of the first to meet my wife of 50 years, Ursula, a German citizen at the time.

While Paul, as with all of us, had his little quirks, we enjoyed many years together, especially on the golf course; and at Bob Olson's house with friends like Jim Reale, John Connoy, Harold Stonbraker, Gary Hunter, Tom Norway, Pat Burris, Jim Crawford, and many others. Some he'll meet in heaven and others who will soon be there with him.

Keep watch over us Paul from your perch on high. Ursula and Lee

I remember when Jessice, Jake, and Jayce were little and Grandpa Paul would take them golfing twice a week. They learned to golf well because of him. He was so patient with them. Do you remember when Paul paid a pilot to take him and Jayce up and then he persuaded the pilot to let Jayce steer the plane. He did some crazy things!!! Do you also remember every time he went shopping he would bring a toy back for Jolie. We all had to tell him to stop spoiling her. I remember when Jolie started school and she would cry all day, he would drive to her school and sit in the parking lot just so she knew he was close by in case she needed him. He was a kind and loving grandpa to Jessica, Jake, Jayce, and Jolie. He will be missed.

If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me. Place them in Paul's arms and tell him they’re from me. Tell him I love him and I miss him and I'm happy that he's at peace. Place a kiss upon his cheek and hug him tenderly.
Remembering him is easy, I do it every day, but we didnt get to say goodbye and there’s an ache in my heart that will never go away.

Judi, I'm so sorry for your loss. May all your great memories comfort you in the days ahead.
