My sincere sympathy on Paul's passing. I remember seeing him in Heady Hall when he visited Becky at work. What a happy boy. I could see how much you loved and cared for him. Hope your family finds comfort and support in each other during this very difficult time.

Ray and Becky, I remember you bringing Paul to Adult Forum as a tiny boy. His regular attendance as an active member of Augustana made us all love Paul, with his joyful greetings and ethusiastic handshakes. He helped my grandchildren accept others with handicaps, and feel accepting of them. You were wonderful parents to surround Paul with so much love. God's blessings to you all. We shall never forget Paul, with his joy in life.

Ray, Becky, Joe, and Emily,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all!! I have many memories of Paul and your family from his younger years with ChildServe. Paul was always a happy and social guy that enjoyed being with others and being on the go. He always greeted people and wanted everyone to smile and greet him back.

My heart hurts for your family. Paul was an amazing soul and he touched my life so much. I can't even put into words how much caring for him changed my life. His smile, firm handshake, and bright blue eyes would light up my day every time I walked up to the door.
Sending my love and prayers,

Ray, Becky, Emily and Joe,
I am thinking of you all during this difficult time. I have so many memories and don't even know where to start. He was such a joy! I remember Hilltop, Boone Bowling Group, respite, childcare and on and on. I watched all your kids grow up! Paul brought so much joy to so many. He loved animals and talked about his chickens all the time. I even remember the day that Ray brought chickens to respite camp for the kids to hold and enjoy!
I am thinking of you all during this time,
Rachelle (Dittmer) Flory- ChildServe Ames Supervisor and now Manager

Hi Ray and Becky, Carol Boeke from ChildServe. I am so sad to hear that Paul passed away. He looks so grown up in his picture. What I remember the most about Paul is his big smile and of course the hand - shake. When he was younger he loved bubbles and I blew a lot of bubbles during our therapy sessions. He was excited to come to speech therapy and also excited to leave. What a way to live your life.
My thoughts and prayers for you as you go through this difficult time.
Carol - Speech-Language therapist - Ames ChildServe.
