Paul was one of a kind musician. His love of Christ was present in every song he sang and composed. His contribution to the "Ambassadors" was evident in every rehearsal and performance. He will be missed by all. Jennifer, Michael and the rest of Paul's family, know that now he is singing "One Hill One Cross" for the greatest audience of all!

Jennifer and Michael,
Our hearts are with you during this difficult time. Your Dad was a gifted man and we enjoyed sharing the platform with him and the family many times during our musical ministry as we traveled Iowa and the Midwest.
I regret that we won't be able to attend his service due to tests I have that morning at the hospital. But our prayers are with you all now and in the days and weeks ahead.
