Condolence: Met Paul in the badlands 0ver 40 years ago. He was a good guy and an expert on Civil War history as well as all the technical aspects. I visited him several times and even though I had not seen him for years, I miss him. My blessings go out to his family.

Condolence: Work with Paul at Antietam NB for several years, but knew for about 20 plus years. He was always a great friend and the guy to go to when some visitor asked about the location of an unit where there were cannons. Will miss him and the visitor will miss an expert on the Civil War. Rest in Peace Paul. Sorry that I was out of the area for his service.

Condolence: As a park ranger I first worked with Paul in 1981. He was an outstanding historian and as veterans he and I often discussed aspects of military life. He was a great friend and a good man.

Condolence: Though my years of volunteering at Antiem and my dad I knew Paul. He was a great person who helped shaped my love of history, technology and I considered a great person as I interacted with him frequently during my teen years. I remember when he first got to Antiem, he was one of the ones who embraced the new computers others in Interp fought against. I will miss the great conversations I had with him and his always running late to events. I wish he had been a little later going to heaven. My prayers are with Bonnie and the rest of the family for losing this special person so unexpectedly.

Condolence: Very sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I knew Paul from my time working at Monocacy and Antietam even though I first met him in South Dakota. His personality, knowledge of Civil War history and artillery will be missed by all.

Condolence From: K
Condolence: I am so very sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in God's sure promise of a resurrection as set forth in the Bible. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29) Those who are raised to life will have the prospect of never again being subject to misery, sickness, or death. (Revelation 21:4) I hope that reflecting on these thoughts will give you some relief during this difficult time.
