I send my deepest sympathies to the family of this wonderful man. My heart was saddened to learn of his loss. My earliest childhood memories are full of him, having him as a neighbor and great friend of my family. I always remember all of us, my 4 sisters and I, yelling "Hi Paul" out our windows every time he stepped outside! And he always replied with a smile on his face! He was so well loved and he will forever be remembered in our hearts.
Our sympathy goes out to the entire family. Paul will be greatly missed and your family will be in our prayers. The Kloepfers(Cherney)
Dear Rita and Family, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Paul was such a wonderful, caring man. I will always appreciate his kindness toward my children and my husband. I often read his kind letter he wrote to me when I was in a time of despair. His smile was always uplifting. My family and I will deeply miss him. My prayers are with you all. With Love, Damian, Kelli, Alyssa and Mariyah Cherney-Balog
To our Grandpa, To the most wonderful, vivacious, and intelligent man. There are no words to express the sadness and the loss that my family feels. However, we are celebrating his life, as that is how he would have wanted it. We will always remember his tough composure, yet his teddy bear heart. He had a soft spot for his 2 grandchildren and was able to see the both of us get married to our perfect mates. He taught us how to love unconditionally and is evidenced by his almost 55 years of marriage to our wonderful grandmother. His happiest time was when he was younger and his only child and our mom Lee Ann was born. He and grandma raised her with love and values. She too, met her mate and together they started a family of their own. As he progressed in years he loved vacationing with grandma in the tropics with Auntie El and Uncle Ralph, and fishing in Canada. His happiest times as he got older was being a part of his grandson's, and granddaughter's wedding. He looked so handsome in his Tuxedo in both of the weddings, and he wore it proudly. He loved seeing his great-grandchildren, Natalie, Anita, and Timmy. We will make it a point that our children will never forget their great-grandfather: G.G. as Anita and Timmy call him and G.G. Pa as Natalie calls him. We will always remember "The Russian" with his fuzzy eyebrows, bald head, and big beautiful blue eyes. He will forever live on in our hearts.
