Paul - such a unique individual. You had such a great, and sometimes twisted, sense of humor; you always made me laugh; always had a hug and kind thing to say. Thank you for doing my hair at my wedding :-) You are beautiful inside and out; and made others feel beautiful on the inside and look good on the outside. I think spreading that joy and beauty was your gift to the world. God Bless You. My sympathies to your family.

Paul you will be so missed. I really enjoyed my time with you when I would come into the beauty shop...you were always so fun to be around, smiling, laughing and telling a great story. In a world of such turmoil and unrest it is a gift to be able to make people happy. Your sense of humor always kept me laughing. You were so caring, always asking how my family was doing. When you would talk about your Mom it was very obvious how close you were and how much you treasured your time with her. And I also know by the stories you would tell how much you loved spending time with David, Becky and Joshua. I am so glad to have known you and will miss you. Rest in Peace with our Lord.

I first met Paul when we were both taking a class at Lee College. That was over thirty years ago, actually close to forty. He was my hairdresser for a while until I moved too far away for it to be convenient even though I loved the attention he gave me. I always adored Paul, his humor and love of life. He was very talented artistically with a number of art media. I was truly saddened to hear of his passing and will remember him in my prayers.

Mr.Paul and I worked together for many years and he filled our Salon with humor,Laughter,Great story's ,fabulous lunches,he had the talent to cook a complete meal on an old iron skillet in our kitchen that was fit for a king. Our Salon will never be the same but I can assure you not one day will probably pass that Mr.Pauls name isn't included in our conversation.He will live on in our hearts...R.I.P Paul O'Banion

i am shocked and sadden by your passing Dear Friend. How I will miss those special times when I sat in your chair, and heard your stories and your laughter as you cut my hair. You would always speak about your wonderful mother, and where you had lunch together. You'd tell me about Carol, and what she had been doing. The love and affection you displayed when you spoke about your family was inspiring. That perfect kind of unconditional love. Your's was a life well lived. Until we meet again. I love you my brother.

Many of us have from our youth have gone to church been taught about GOD and in our hearts no that he has a plan for all of us here on earth and in heaven. If we truly believe that If we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a ''wandering to find home,'' then we should we look forward to the arrival? David your brother has made it, be thankful for the short time you had with him here and think about the endless days ahead when we all shall meet again. GOD bless take care, and nothing I say can ease the pain, but no that you or in Lori’s and my prayers yesterday, today and tomorrow.
