    I am shocked to hear about Paulโ€™s passing. We worked together for many years. Paul was always smiling and never complained. Last time I talked to him he was really looking forward to retirement and moving to a more quiet and green place. Iโ€™m glad I met him.

    My family and I want to send our deepest condolences to the Crews family. We will always remember Paul as a great man. He was a co-worker to my father, who has always spoke highly of him even before I had the pleasure of meeting him and his family myself. He and his daughter both became members of our martial arts school and that is how I really got to see first hand what a good and genuine person he was. Paul and his family have always shown their support for what I do even to the point of paying me a surprise visit to do so in person. Paul will forever be remembered and missed for the wonderful person that he was.

It was easy to see how much you loved each other. Iโ€™m deeply sorry you and your family are experiencing the pain of a loss like this. My heart goes out to each of you. Take care always Helen xoxo
