Dory Pemberton says: I was shocked to see this in the paper. His beautiful smile will be missed. I still use his recipe for salsa. We worked together during the old Tanner days. He was an incredible person. I hope we find a cure for this cancer soon. My heart goes out to you and your family. Dory

Paul had a dream he was trying to survey the circumference of his head shortly after he became a survey crew chief in Prescott, Arizona. Paul died years ago of brain cancer. Ive often wondered, since his death, if his dream was a premonition. He was an incredible crew chief, a phenomenal friend and a loving and invested father to his three wonderful sons. Paul, his mother and three wonderful sons had a profound and positive effect on my life. There isn’t a day goes by that he doesn’t cross my mind. I am grateful for time spent with Paul. My heart continues to go out to his lovely sons, Matthew, Michael and Jeffrey. Dorothy knew him longest and loved him best. I hope her life is as wonderful and as good as she deserves. I pray the same for Paul and Dorothy’s remarkable sons.
