I had known Paul for over 40 years. He was a very nice person and certainly knowledgeable about outboard engines and lawn mower motors.
He was always courteous and would share his knowledge of many items.
He was knowledgeable about plants and was a member of the Jonesboro garden club. He will be missed by lots of people in Jonesboro.
I will not forget him. Rest in peace Paul. Your friend Steve Bracy.
