We just learned of Paul’s passing, and we send you our sympathy and warm hugs as you move through this difficult time. We remember some of those special ‘jazz’ moments so long ago. One in particular is just a bit different from the ‘usual’ in that we were in Sun Valley for their jazz festival….think it was when we did the bus trip. We were wandering around town a bit during the day before the music began. We ran into Paul, & he told us he’d just stepped out of one of the stores & ran right into Arnold Schwarzenegger who was also wandering through the downtown shops. (Arnold still has a home in Ketchum, ID.) All of the jazz folks shared in the ‘celebratory’ story of Paul & Arnold! Precious memories are a gift. Blessings to your family. ** From Gary & Joy Novota

You always had a twinkle as you reminded me through the years that you always could remember my birthday. That was the day you met my sister Barbara at the Powell rollerskating rink. Together you had a partner ship through the years as you raised Randy, Lora and Shelly. Then the grandkids and great grandkids brought happiness.

You had many adventures together. You will be missed

From constructing the family earth home based on his own design to creative woodworking or repairing most anything needing attention , Paul could do it and do it right. Take care out there Paul.

We were both firemen with the Montana City Volunteer Fire Department. He was well respected as a dedicated fireman and a friend.
