I have known Paul and Cathie many years from my father's friendship with them in the Shriners. My wife is from Arizona and I would try and visit them whenever we were in Mesa. It was always a joy to see them in Mesa - like my family. A few years back, I was in Tucumcari,NM checking into a hotel while there for work. Someone nudged my at the front desk, I turned around and there was Paul and Cathie. I will never forget that. I will never forget Paul. Our infinite love and condolences to Cathie. You are always in our heart and prayers. - Posted by: Duane & Diane Winnemuller (Friends) on: Aug 16, 2017

I knew Paul many years through my father's friendship with Paul. They were in the Shriners together for many years. My wife Diane is from Arizona so I would try and visit Paul and Cathy whenever we were in Mesa. I would tell Diane I was going to visit my other parents at their place off Alma School Road. Our thoughts and prayers are with Cathy. Cathy, we love you and Paul like family. God Bless. - Posted by: Duane Winnemuller (Friend ) on: Aug 16, 2017
