As I sit here and look at Paul's picture I think to myself Paul would have really liked this picture, it's a really nice one of him. I meant Paul the same night I meant my husband Brett, matter of fact if it hadn't been for Paul getting Brett to go out that night we would have never meant and married. We had some really good time together. We will miss Pauls big smile, hardy laugh and laid back personality. Rest in Peace my friend, til we meet again, we love you always buddy!

Hearing about Mr. Brown's passing truly hurt my heart. He, his mother and sister were regular guests of mine at Catfish Cabin and Tia Juanita's in Jasper. I always enjoyed our visits. You're with the angels, now. Godspeed and God bless.

Paul Brown, Brother you will surely be missed so much. You were a truly great man. You took me under your wing on my first traveling job in Weymouth Massachusetts after I broke out. Rest In Peace Brother.

So sad to hear of Paul’s death. We went to junior high school together. I moved away but we reconnected through Facebook. I always called him The Son of a Preacher Man because that song was popular when we were in junior high. Through his Facebook posts I could tell how much he loved his family and his triplet grandsons. I know how much he will be missed by all. Susan Dana Paladino
