Paul was a fantastic friend, a wonderful co-worker, he will be missed tremendously. We would always laugh about the fun times we had working together, especially shooting the rubber bands, and throwing paper wads! Which he was usually smiling and laughing. He was always talking about his family, he had so much love for all of them. Such a wonderful man, great husband, father and grandfather.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is actually a loss for many others. I have many fond child hood memories with Mr. Sparks at the Hunting Camp with the Maxcy's. How many times did I hear him say "Gee Boy"? I feel very privelidged to have known him the way I did. He was a very special person to many and myself. We do not understand these pre-mature things happen, but there is a plan.
