Paul stayed in contact with me via Facebook after I retired from the PPA. Always had a good morning for me and was always encouraging, when I ran the Indiana Tour, and when ever I was putting. That continued as he would always say hello anytime I would do a live Facebook feed. My deepest sympathies to Jeff, Jim, Josh and the rest of the family. Rest in Peace Paul.
