  1. Paul’s daughter, Paula Goodnight was my best friend in college and we’ve kept in touch throughout all these years. Her father was always so kind to me especially when I saw him at church hymn sings. I shall always remember him fondly. To Paula, may the Lord surround you with His peace. I’m so sorry for your loss.
