Dear Kathy and Family:

I was sorry to hear of Paul's passing. Kathy, I remember times visiting at your house (I will spare you the incident with cottage cheese and chives) and on card club picnics with our parents and families. Good days.
May God bless you and your family.

One of the most amazing uncles a nephew can have. He is at the udder most what the WORTH family is about. I feel and know that he has had an incredible influence from Grandpa (Spider) and has trail blazed the Worth name for sure. I have sat and listened to my father's (John's) respect for this class act of a man. Uncle Paul, thanks for creating a better world for all! Your love and leadership in our family as a man will never be forgotten. I know and we all know the way the Worth's carry them selves as pius but brave influential individuals will never be forgotten. You are in our hearts forever! See you in HEAVEN!!!
