To the Family and friends of Paul Klein
You have my sincerest condolences on the passing of Paul. He will be missed by you in body and soul, however, all who will miss his spirit as well.
Paul and Carol always struck me as the solid rock that is required by farmers who work the land and live on the prairies. To be able to withstand the elements when they are the fiercest during the winter, and trying during the summer, was a quality that went without saying. And I always admired Paul and Carol for these.
Though our visits became fewer and fewer as the years past, I remember fondly the “family reunions” held either away from the farm, but more vividly, those held at Paul's home. Loved the discussions over the kitchen table, even the semi rowdy ones. Paul the diplomat, making his point, yet, keeping the tone low with those that disagreed.
I was fortunate to live at Uncle Willie's home with all of the family. Sitting in the front room, listening to records, and watching TV without sound (WGN) was always fun. And so were my cousins. Paul always struck me as a solid soul, and i liked him for that very much.
To my cousins who are still living or deceased – you are/were my family, much more than you know. With the passing of each one, I mourn the loss greatly.
With the deepest of sympathies to Carol and family
