Ellen Karnes wrote a sympathy message

“Paul was such a kind man! He hired me to teach at Staunton River Middle School in 1990 for 7th grade History. I was always so appreciative that he took a chance on me! I kept in touch with him until just a few years ago. Margaret was a wonderful lady, too, and our guidance counselor for a few years after Paul retired. Prayers for the family! Ellen Jean Karnes”
