So terribly sorry to learn of Paul’s passing. Condolences to his fine family. Eternal rest. Paul was a friend to everyone.
We at ITECH are saddened and heart broken at the loss of our friend and coworker. Paul will greatly missed by all . We have received many calls and emails expressing prayers and condolences for the family from many of the people and companies Paul dealt with on a regular basis.
Several of us after our morning meeting shared Paul stories. It was a small way of saying good by to a good man.
So very sorry to learn of Paul’s Death.I have a lot of fond memories of Paul and Family when J. P. and Evan played sports. You are in my thoughts.
Paul was a wonderful man. He did alot for me while I was at I-Tech. He was a very good friend to me and I will miss him so very much.
So sorry to hear about Paul. He was a good guy. Thoughts and prayers are sent your way for all of your family.
Was such a pleasure to work with Paul for many, many years. He was a very wise person and so full of life. Even though some may think we were just co-workers, sometimes that is where we learn and know most about one another and he and I built a strong rapport over the years… I will miss our many life strong conversations we would have about life and things of this world… as well as our connection and discussions concerning the great tomorrow that many today have no faith in… Looking forward to seeing him again in the great forever…
Thereasa, Scott and family; so sorry for your loss. We have such great memories of the time spent together watching Scott and Josh play ball. Paul was a great man and father. Prayers, comfort and love to you all.
I couldn’t have asked for a better human resources man. We meet in 2011 when I started with the company in nc. Both me and my wife thought alot of you through the past 5 years even as I transferred to South Carolina.
James Ray, Mike Smith and I played hundreds of rounds of golf with Paul back in the day. Several years consecutively we played off at least 1 WNC Golf Card completely and often we went through 2 of them. He was a close friend to all of us but sadly for me I lost touch with him. I spoke to him on phone a few times and often thought of him. He was a good guy.
So sorry for your loss. Paul will surely be missed. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. God bless…
Theresa, I am so sorry for your loss. We are praying for you and your family. I have been ill, so we will not be able to come but will be with you in our thoughts. God Bless you and comfort you. Love from us both.
I want to send my love and sympathies to the Burwell family. I’m very sorry for your loss. It’s no way to really describe the pain one feels when death overtakes a loved one. Feelings of sadness and grief can be overwhelming during this time of mourning. However, comfort from the scriptures can give you hope. John 5:28,29 speaks of the promise of the resurrection. That scripture says, ‘Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.’ What this can mean for your family is a real hope of being reunited with your dead loved ones.
My deepest sorrow to the family for our loss. Paul was greatly loved and admired by all of those that knew him. We vowed to stay in touch after we departed college and never broke that promise. He was loved and will be greatly missed. I will be there in spirit today and have said many prayers for the family. My love goes to all.

Dear Theresa and Scott,
Our family is heartbroken over your loss. Paul was such an amazing man, loving husband, and wonderful father. He will not only be missed by his precious family but by so many friends and coworkers. Please know we will have your family in our thoughts and prayers and will see you at the visitation.
We send all our love and condolences.
Thereasa and family… I am so very sorry to learn about your loss of Paul.
Fortunately, death is only a temporary part of life. Jesus promised us a wonderful resurrection of the dead (John 5:28,29/1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14), so we have the hope of being reunited with our deceased loved ones. In the meantime, even though the pain of loss through death may seem sometimes insurmountable, rest assured that God will give you the strength necessary to endure the coming months (Psalm 46:1).
Please accept my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences and feel free to contact me.

Paul, a valued friend for decades, was always a sensitive an employee-oriented HR manager. He was knowledgeable, professional and approachable. I especially appreciated his outgoing manner and delightful personality. These characteristics made every contact with him a pleasure. I will miss him. I extend my deepest sympathy to the family during this time of loss and sadness. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Brings back fond memories of East Asheville Youth league. You guys are in my thoughts.
