I met Paul many years ago when I was a CNA at Medi Homes where his father Emery was at. He was a Sweet Man. Always greeted us on the street when we met him.

A son, a brother, a dad, a papaw, an uncle and a friend that was what my dad was. I often told dad and mom I was blessed to have them both as my parents. I saw many lives touched by my dad tonight at his visitation. That legacy will continue with what he taught us and inspired us to be and I pray I have passed that along to my children, family members and friends because he gave us a good gift. He had a kind heart and fought the good fight past what most would have. Love you dad.
Ralph Gary Tabor - Son And Friend
So sorry for your loss. You and and your family are in our prayers.
Laura Lantz And Family - Friend Of Lisa Wood
Dad was such a caring and compassionte man. He would give his last of everything to anyone that needed it. He was a very passionate and sentimental man. He loved his family and was always there for them. I am proud to call him my dad. He had such a heart for people and their comfort. When asked what I would miss the most about him and I replied "everything". Thank you for hanging in dad and fighting so hard. I love you and I miss you SO much. I look forward to our reunion when I can also touch the face of God.

Paul was an extraordinary man who reminded me of my own father in so many ways--particularly in his love for his family. I am so blessed to have known his children, and to call them my friends. I know how deeply he will be missed, and my thoughts and prayer are with you all.
