Messages Of Condolence

Dear Ginny & Family,

So sorry to hear about the passing of Paul. We have some good memories together, the children in cross country for the schools and meet up at holidays in the early days. So sorry we missed the funeral we were on holiday.
Love & best wishes to you all
Wendy, Geoff, Jason & Craig White.

My sincere condolences to all of Paul's family. I spent several happy afternoons at the King Power Stadium with Paul and his good friend Ian, my brother-in-law. It was a few years ago but I enjoyed his company and our chats. I know that Ian and Penny will miss him very much.

Ginny, Clare, Louise, Kate & Extended family I am so sorry for your loss. Sadly there are no words I can say that will make your pain easier but I will always remember Paul for his kindness, warmth and the fact he preferred Pepsi instead of Coke.
Love always

Auntie Ginny, we are so sorry to hear the sad news of Uncle Paul’s passing. I have very fond memories of going to watch him play football and also playing golf with him and Uncle Ernie, there was never a dull moment! We are so sorry that we can’t be there to pay our respects but we will be thinking of you all. Sending all our love, Brian & family xx

To my lovely auntie Ginny and all the family.
I have very fond memories of uncle Paul, especially staying with them when I was younger.
Uncle Paul always brought home a big bag of pick and mix, which was amazing.
I’m thinking of you all and sending lots of love.
