Paul will be greatly missed in our little town. He always had a kind smile and a friendly word. I am unable to attend the funeral, so I’d like to share my story here - - it was a summer day in the early ‘80s – I was working at the Barbour Democrat and lived on North Walnut Street. One day I came home for lunch via the back alley and continued through the house to the front door to get the mail. I opened the door and could hear someone yelling “help, help”. From the front sidewalk I looked back and could see Paul at the Strader house next door – hanging by his fingers from the 2nd story eaves. He had been painting the trim and his ladder slipped and fell to the porch roof. I climbed the ladder from the ground to the porch roof and retrieved the ladder that had fallen and he climbed down safely. That night your Mom called and offered to give Paul to me – she said in the Orient, if you saved a life, that person then belonged to you.

Mike and Tiffani, I am so sorry for the passing of Paul. I went to church with him and he was the sweetest man. He was a devout Christian and cared about his fellow man. We know that he is in Heaven with no more pain, nor worries. I will pray for the family through all of this time of grief Janna

Mike, Sorry to hear of the death of your Dad. I knew Paul when I worked at the dairy in Elkins. I remember that he brought you with him and you entertained us by adding a column of numbers in your head at a very young age. Your Dad was very proud of you. Thinking of you at this difficult time.kxm
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Mike...I'll always remember election nights at the court house when Paul and I would tally up the results as they came in. It sorta turned out to be a tradition with us for many years. I'll miss him!

I met Paul when he came to the dairy in Elkins where I worked in the late '50's to purchase milk for the dairy in Philippi. Mike, he brought you with him at times and I remember how proud he was of you then and now. He would call me occassionaly see how I was doing. It was such a pleasure to know Paul, I know he will be missed. Love and Prayers.

Mike & Family, Sorry to read about "P.G." I've known him for so long that I can't remember not knowing him.Bobby, PG and I were going to resurrect the Glenn Dairy. He is in a better place now, though. With much sympathy, Jim
