Paul’s daughters would like to thank his neighbors, family and friends who included Dad in outings and activities. Since he was blind for so many years, he relied on others for transportation and invitations to events. It is very much appreciated by us and him.

 

We would also like to thank the staff at the Villas, Sterling House and Hospice for all their care in these last few months.
