We are Sorry for the Passing of Paul, and Sending Our Thoughts and Prayers to Billie and His Entire family. May He Rest in Peace.
Mrs. Moffitt, My deepest condolences on the loss of Mr. Moffitt.
Dear Billie,

Our sympathies. Billie, we were so fortunate to be your neighbors in the 1960’s and 70’s. Paul was not that much older than me, but he served as a great role model. As we got older we always reminisced about the basketball games in the Mead Village Park. Many fond memories. Our blessings.
Paul was such a delight to talk to and always had a big smile. Heaven has gained a great man
I will miss you Uncle Paul. I am thankful for all the good memories that we shared. You were a wonderful, Godly man. Thank you for all the good memories that we shared over the years. Rest in peace, until we meet again in Heaven❤️
Sending my deepest sympathy…Melinda Johnson (Nikki’s preschool teacher at Little Seeds Preschool)

Sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. He was such a sweet and wise man. I’m thinking of Billie and Nikki. Nikki was my favorite little buddy at Garden City.
