Gloria,
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. We were shocked to read of Paul's passing. It seems like only last week when we, you and Paul, Hank and his wife, and the others were working hard at water aerobics in the Madigan pool. We pray Paul's last days were peaceful and we're so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Al & Donna Zils##imported-begin##Al and Donna Zils##imported-end##
I want to thank Paul for his service to our country and our State of Washington. I only met Paul once, if my memory serves me correctly, but it was a very agreeable conversation at his house about the future of Lakewood and our country. A true patriot with a positive vision for our community and nation.##imported-begin##Dick Muri##imported-end##
Paul and Gloria are wonderful neighbors to my parents (the Riggins). My dad and Rocky will truly miss you Paul. Thank you for your kindness and laughter over the years. Feel free to send a jolt when Leon isn't doing the gardening right. (smile) RIP!

To someone I have the highest respect for. Paul always made time to help friends and family,I really think he just liked using all those new tools he had. I feel I was one of the lucky ones that got to see and talk to him the day before he passed. I will miss his corny jokes, his none stop whistling, to no apparent known song, when he was tinkering. His love of a good beer and the stories that follow. To Paul and Gloria, all my love, you were alway good to me, I will never forget that.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the Downey family. Mr. Downey would always say to me "Mushi Mushi" with a big smile on his face. I will always smile fondly and remember his warmth, hospitality and great sense of humor. Mushi, Mushi Mr. Downey. You will be missed, not forgotten.##imported-begin##Jeff & Marcie Allen##imported-end##
