Bear was a friend (more like a brother) I’ve known from way back in the Morningside days. Even though he moved and we couldn’t keep up as much as I would have liked, he was that friend that as long as he drew a breath you always knew he had your back. Condolences to his wife and family, and god speed, brother.

When I was very young, Paul was good friends with my mom, Mary Ellen Robinette. He was my “daddy bear”. It’s been many many years since I have talked to him, but he always made me smile & feel so loved! Heaven gained another angel…I will always love him&will be praying for his family. God bless
