Condolences to the entire family ! I first met Paul while working at Easter Seals in Lancaster nearly 50 years ago . He came to the amputee clinic , to assist patients with funding & rehab , as a social worker . Later got reacquainted with Paul & Eunice serving on the Contact hot line . This past year my husband Ned was able to trace his ancestors 10 generations back , on his mothers side - that name is Nicholas Danforth from Framlingham England - he came to USA and helped start Harward University - so now we wonder if we might be related ?? Sincerely , Ned & Kirsten Bishop

Dear Brian , Stephen and Family,
I was sorry to hear about Paul. I wonder if they are all together in the great beyond cooking up some new adventures and fun. I have fond memories of your Mother and Dad visiting in Morrisonville and at Mother's when I could be there to join them. Then there was the time that Effie and I visited in Lancaster when you were young.
I read the obituary and chuckled on the line that said he was happy to give free advice. That was so like him but it was all done with good intentions. I am hoping I will be able to attend the September memorial service.
Love,
Avis

Paul's Family,
Our lives crossed for the first time when Paul and I were students at the School of Social Work at the University of Pittsburgh in 1957. On occasion we traveled from Lancaster to Pittsburgh after weekends spent with family in Lancaster. Later, Eunice and Paul became part of a group of college and graduate school friends that my wife Carol and I gathered together in Lancaster each holiday season for more than 50 years. Those were many happy events that enabled all of us to keep in contact even though our paths had scattered.
Please accept my sincere condolences.

Dear family,
I remember Paul and Eunice from their years of being in Contact. We often went on the retreats together. I remember one year the both of them were doing such a nice job of dancing together. I asked Paul if they had taken lessons and then why. He told me, "Eunice said I was too boring so I decided to take dance lessons." I got such a laugh out of that. They put in many hours on the phones, and I am sure they helped others in that endeavor.
