For the past 32 years, we have been blessed to call Paul Addison Stubbs “family”. Hardly a day went by without a friendly wave, a curbside chat or an evening conversation in his “office”. Our family holidays and celebrations were enriched by his presence.
His generous and caring manner was extended to everyone he met. Paul was keenly interested in other peoples’ lives. He always wanted to know what the kids were up to and how you were doing. His passing so saddened our community that an impromptu memorial was created by neighbors and friends in front of his home.
His absence aches our hearts every day. We constantly find ourselves glancing at his home, a habit that probably will continue for a very long time. We miss him terribly, but we are thankful that his suffering has ended.
He will forever remain in our hearts.
We love you Paul.
