    It is with great sadness that I heard about Paul's passing this morning. I would definitely have paid my respects in person, had I known. Enjoyed all the fun times my husband Bill and I had with Paul, Mary and lot's of friends. My deepest sympathy goes out to all his family and friends. May he rest in the sweetest peace of Christ.

    The man, the myth, the legend! An EPS staple. You could always count on quality conversation with Mr. Mac- some life history, talking about the grandkids, some wicked jokes, some Dairy Queen hot dogs- the little things. He'd be moving around the gym barely stopping all day - fixing this and taking care of that. I can't count the number of times he shook his head or made a wise crack of how our mess of an office looked. His "painting uniform" of the blue plaid button up with old jeans will be imprinted in my mind whenever I think of him. - Love Jess Coyle

    Thanks to my Dad, I never stood alone. He was the strongest, most moral force behind me. I will miss Dad every second of every minute of every hour of every day...
