Paul was undoubtedly one the nicest people I’ve ever had the fortune of coming across let alone having in my life. To give an idea of what kind of a man Paul was I’ll share this. My father died of cancer when I was a kid and my mom knew I needed some kind of a positive male role model in my life so she talked to Paul. Paul’s mom and mine were high school besties which is how we knew each other. So without any kind of issues when Paul was in his very early 20s he came into town every Monday night after a long days work and hung out with me, just so I had someone to relate to. He did it for a few years until I was moving on with my life and didn’t need him in that capacity as much. Never complained or anything, just did what he knew needed to be done to help someone out as that’s what a man does. His mentoring over 30yrs ago has in no small way impacted the man I am now. Paul Bahr was truly one of the finest people I’ve ever had the honor of knowing and he will be sorely missed by all.
