While I hadn’t seen Paul since high school, I’ll always remember him among my closest friends then, and I particularly remember his terrific wit. I don’t think I knew a funnier person than Paul at his best. He was also one of the most talented actors in our class, and just a joy to know.

I remember Paul from Ben Davis High School, when he played Nathan Detroit in “Guys ‘n Dolls” (opposite my wife). He was a year behind us, but I recall his sharp wit more than anything. Didn’t know him after high school, but if he was anything like he was as a young man, then the world has lost another high-quality person. “Why it’s good old reliable Nathan, Nathan Nathan Detroit.” God Speed, Mr. Siemers.
Rest in peace, cousin Paul. I remember well the many summer and Thanksgiving family visits to your house or mine. You were were talented, kind and so funny. You made me laugh til I cried.
Aunt Martha and family, we send our love to you during this difficult time.
