    Cindy, Amanda and Sarah, we’re so sorry to hear about Paul. He was such a fun loving man. He was always trying to pull something over on me. He would call and pretent to be someone else but after a couple minutes I would figure out that it was him. We’ll miss seeing him, and his pranks. He truly was a special man! Your in our thoughts and prayers.



  6. Amanda Kinmond on September 28, 2012 at 12:00 am

    Dad, I don’t know what else to say but that I don’t understand how you could be gone and that I’ll never see you again. How you’re not going to see Kiley grow up or Sarah’s baby grow up. How you’re not going to be there when I call and you’ll harrass me for 20 minutes. How you’re not going to be there when I need you. I don’t understand! I love you so much and will miss you every minute of every day. Rest in peace knowing that we’ll take care of Mom.

    Dear Cindy, Amanda and Sarah: We are so sorry for the loss of someone who loved his family so much. We will always treasure Paul’s unconditional caring and generosity. There was never anything that Paul would not do for us or anyone else. May God give you the peace knowing that he is in God’s heavenly home, Paul’s journey is complete.

    I will miss you Paul. The greatest things in life always seem to leave us too soon. I will always have the many memories going back to the 4th grade. May you have everlasting peace.



  9. Cindy Oakden on September 28, 2012 at 12:00 am

    My Dearest Paulie, How will I go on without you? You left me much too soon with lost dreams and unfulfilled promises of how our life was to be together. You were the very best husband, father and friend anyone would want or ask for. You brought all of the people you came in contact with so much joy and happiness with your generosity of spirit, willingness to help anyone in need and your quirky sense of humor. I will never forget our life together – it was the best!! Thank you for being my husband, friend and my better half. Be at peace my love knowing I will always love you and wait for me on the other side. Your loving wife forever and ever Cindy.

    Paul was a great friend that I wish I knew all my life. He always had a positive outlook no matter what the situation may be. Paul was a great individual who thought of others before himself and he was always quick with a smile that made you smile. Paul was always there for me and I hope that I was there for him. I’m going to miss him everyday.

    We have very fond memories of Paul when we first moved into our new home. We would come home from work on cold snowy days to find our driveway plowed. Whenever we thanked him for a job well done his words to us were ‘neighbors must take care of neighbors.’ He never let us down. We will miss seeing him work in his yard and waving hello everytime he drove by our house. Paul was a great friend and neighbor. We will really miss and his kind words. Rest in peace my friend.
