Harry L. Paul was an amazing dad to his sons and an awesome Poppop to his grandkids and G-Pops to his Great Grandkids. He touched so many lives, making lasting impressions on everyone who met him. It was always said that Harry never met a stranger and treated everyone with respect and humbleness. He would help anyone in need and would give the shirt off his back. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. But Harry L. Paul has traded his flight wings for angel wings and has joined his wife, the love of his life, as they watch over their family and friends.
