We lost a great friend this past week. Paul Barron was the kind of friend who made life better just by being part of it. The memories, laughs, conversations, and time shared together will never be forgotten. It’s hard to imagine this world without him in it. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him. Rest easy, friend.
