Sarah-
I am so very sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. I worked with Paul at Allegany State Park in the 1960’s and would go to the Stateline Speedway with his cousin Jim Carr and others. Paul was always fun to be around.
I am so sorry Barb. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.
Judy, so sorry for your loss.. I will always remember the days Paul and kids bowled on the adult/ child, that is where I met you all. Bill and I send our prayers for you and family..
Judy and family,
So sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. I always enjoyed catching up with him at different functions. Great guy.
You are all in our thoughts.
Paul & Jackie Sherry
Many years ago, we lived up the street from the Milhausen family and considered them our friends. Paul was a highly regarded member of the Mutual Hook & Ladder Company and we served together on the Canandaigua Fire Department.
Our prayers go out to the entire Milhausen family and we wish them peace in these trying times. Paul was a great father, husband, friend, fellow firefighter and he will be missed.
Don & Marian Ford
We send our strength. Our thoughts are with all who feel a loss in his passing, especially family.
Paul was a good friend when the two of us were in the Canandaigua Fire Department together as volunteers. A good fellow who was always ready to serve beside his fellow Fire fighters. He will be missed by his many friends and family.
Paul was my dad’s cousin, and they were close friends until my dad passed away in 2010. They enjoyed some common interests, including going to watch race cars. In the mid 1960s, Paul traveled to Florida with my family, so that he and my dad could go to the Daytona 500.
In 2009, my son and I went to a late model race at Canandaigua with Paul. He invited us to spend the night, and fed us breakfast before we left in the morning.
After my dad passed away, Paul stayed in touch, occasionally sending me messages about racing, politics, or old Salamanca or Red House. I always enjoyed our interactions.
Debbie, We are very sorry for your loss. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family. We pray that God gets you all thru this difficult time.
My thoughts and Prayers go out to you and your family during this most difficult time.
