It is with deepest sympathy That I write this. It has been an absolute blessing, and honour working with Paul for many years at Rutherford.
His heartfelt and loving personality was cherished by so many. His laughter was so enchanting alongside his angelic smile, that whenever Paul walked into a room, everything and everyone would instantly light up!
Words cannot describe how deeply you will be missed Paul, for God has gained another Angel.
Forever in our hearts and minds you will be missed our friend!
God bless you and your family. Until we meet again, rest in heavenly peace our friend.
With Love;

My blessings and love to you all. Beryl Jeffs

We were very saddened to hear of Paul’s passing. Our sister, Karen Down, was most fond of Paul and enjoyed
spending time with him at the Rutherford Day Program. He was always very kind to her and brought so much happiness
to all of his friends. Paul will be greatly missed by Karen and by all who had the pleasure of having their lives touched by his. Our heartfelt condolences are extended to his loving family and many friends. We have all been blessed by Paul’s warm and gentle nature.

To all our cousins,
So sorry to hear of your loss. It is with great sadness that we have to send this message, but remembering Paul also brings back wonderful memories and many smiles. We all can remember him sitting in Grandma and Grandpa’s kitchen (Len and Ev) having a little visit and also a must needed treat. He loved them both, just as much as they loved him. May you always cherish the wonderful memories of a person so full of life and perseverance. May we all take a lesson from Paul, to stop and smell the roses and take time for those that we love. Hugs to all…
