Paul was a very special gentleman, friend and neighbor. I guess I've know him and his family all my life. Paul served our district as county commissioner for several years. Later, I worked with Izola, and of course, knew the family. Frank and I tried to go by the nursing home when we were in town and see the Moore family. Our sympathy and prayers to the family.

Paul and Izola Moore have always had a special place in my heart. My sincere sympathy to his beloved family.

I spent many hours playing snooker during the afternoons with Paul when I was a teenager. I never heard him say a negative word about anyone. He was a great friend to many, honored Izola always, and was a rock for Doug without fail.
I knew this was coming and I know that Chief was ready to meet his maker. But I will miss him.
Did anyone see that the funeral is June 13 and visitation is June 12?
Thanks for catching that "senior moment" mistake, Janet. It's fixed now!! Funny how I probably read and reread that post 5 or 6 times to be sure everything was okay.
