May you rest peacefully my gentle giant. I will remember you as the man who went above and beyond for all that he loved, but always put his wife first. As the man who taught me the strength in stillness and the peace in the simple things. I will miss the rasp in your voice, the warmth of your hug, the front porch conversations that always could be picked back up with each visit and your spirit. Thank you for sharing your recliner as we watched NASCAR growing up, they are memories I will cherish forever. I love you “Paul, Brother, Dad, PaPaw and friend," your pain is over.
