Paul was a good friend of mine in high school.
We played on the York H.S. baseball team together and he let me ride his mini-bike across Butterfield Rd. from his house in the fields....
We would jog from our houses uptown to the YMCA and back.
Many great memories of Paul!

I am very sad to learn of Paul´s passing. While I hadn´t seen him in quite some time,I will always remember the days when we got together to play baseball at Bryan jr. high. May he rest in peace.
