My deepest sympathy to Flo & all the family. Paul was a gracious, generous, kind-hearted. I thoroughly enjoyed our interactions during his time with the Fairfax Genealogical Society Board. I was always amazed how many volunteer hats he was juggling at the same time. And then to see how much he loved Flo and their time together. Lovely, lovely man. A corner of Vienna has a giant whole in it. Bless you Flo, Robbie

I knew Paul as a fellow member of Wesley UMC in Vienna VA, where he served as Head Usher for many years as well as other positions. He was an exemplary Christian. He was a true Southern gentleman. He was a patriot who represented his own Revolutionary War patriot with honor.
Flo and Margie, Paul was such a special man and a wonderful Christian and it was our great pleasure and honor to know him for over 25 years. He had such a giving heart and ready smile, and we loved and respected him so much. We are so sorry for your loss and are praying that God will comfort you during this time. With love, Beth and Bruce Walker
We have fond memories of Paul through our mutual interest in family genealogy and our association with his wife, Flo, and her membership in Jamestowne Society. Paul was so very supportive of Flo’s interest in family history and was actively involved in research of his own family genealogy as an S.A.R. He will be missed by many!
Paul was a kind and helpful neighbor to us ever since we moved in 14 years ago. Our condolences to Flo and all the family. Please let us know if we can help. Kelly Sund & Dave Heller
Pau was kind, easy-going, and helpful. I met him and Flo through the Fairfax Genealogical Society, and will miss chatting with him. My sympathy to Flo and all of the family.
To Flo and the Snodgrass Family, Paul was the warm, smiling face who greeted me at Wesley. He left a legacy of commitment, service and devotion. He will be missed but never forgotten. My deepest sympathy. Kathy Haskins.
