He was a long-time member of Cherry Road Baptist Church, a proud veteran of the US Navy and a FedEx retiree.

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I worked with Paul many years ago at V. Alexander. He was a kind man and had a great sense of humor. My husband, Jeff, who also worked at V. Alexander and is now with FEDEX, and I both thought a lot of Paul.
May you be comforted by God as you go through this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Jan and Jeff Haley
