From the family of William A Reagan Jr.
Paul always had a smile for me every time I showed up on his door step. He was one of the most genuine people I have ever met. The few stories of his life, several careers, and experiences he shared captivated me. I will miss him dearly.
Blue skies and calm winds Paul.
My heartfelt sympathy to you, Amy and your family. I also have many fond memories of hanging out at your parents’ house after school. Praying that the Lord would comfort you and that you would find rest in His strength.
