You always explained the best way to do things. From driving, to hiking, to gardening, to baseball. You knew the little nuances of how to do it better. There was nothing I couldn’t ask you about. You had an answer or advice for everything and there was something to be learned in each situation.

I had your support. No matter what happened we would tackle it together and figure it out. Your relentless “See Ya!” every time I swung the bat, let me know how proud of me you were.

I wrote my college essay about you as my role model. I wrote that you were a self-made, self-taught, successful man. To me, you were everything I wanted to be.

As a father now I often think to myself, “How would Dad have handled that.” I can only pray to be as great of a father as you were. Chris, Jen, and I truly are your crowning achievements.

The last few years were not easy. The battles you fought both mentally and physically took a toll. It was hard to watch, but you will always be remembered as my kind, loving, caring Dad.

I am proud to have called you Dad. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. You will be missed. I love you.

Story shared: Paul, Paul the Know it All http://robertsmitchell.frontrunnerpro.com/runtime/143494/runtime.php?SiteId=143494&NavigatorId=875552&ItemId=2879301&op=tributeFamilyStories&viewOpt=dpaneOnly&gid=story6649344 I remember Paul as a know it all, but not in a derisive way. He could converse about most anything. I admired him like a youger sister would admire her oldest brother. He'd take me for tours of his yard and home. I was impressed by his flower beds of and tidy lawn and that he germinated flowers from seeds under growlights. I remember receiving random advice: when and how to seed a lawn, which wood was best used where - pine was soft and best kept to the bedroom, and how to show a bird who's boss. I think he had a job in the giftwrap department one Christmas season because he taught me how to wrap gifts. I still wrap them the precise way he taught me and think of him every time I do.

He gave me good parental advice when I most needed it.

What Paul was most proud of were his kids. He was patient, soft spoken, encouraged their interests and took pride in their accomplishments. He did all he could to help them build their lives.

Paul, life was not always kind or easy. But you had your glory days.
