Uncle Paul was a force, the likes of which make it so hard to accept that he is no longer with us. His intelligence and wit and love for his family were obvious to anyone who knew him. I am so grateful for the many years he lived with my parents in Chula Vista. I had the blessing of getting to know him. We shared a love for books and word puzzles, and how I loved his deep baritone voice and full head of snowy white hair! He was love and fun and a bottomless source of knowledge and history. He took our family's proclivity to rib each other very well and tolerated all our silliness, which indicated that he was really a kindred spirit, no matter how much he projected class and manners! He loved the life and noise and diversity of our clan, and oh, he was such a part of us! Rest in the arms of Jesus, my precious uncle friend, our "Gorpy Pahrrrump". I will miss you and treasure every memory of you, until at last, we are a clan once again in eternity... I love you always.... Your niece, Debbie Delisle Charpentier ❤️
