It was a priviledge to know Mr. Nuss. He was always so kind and eager to help. He did several jobs for me and amazed me how he could switch from carpentary to plumbing
.My condolences to his family-What an example and inspiration he was!.
Paul was a delightful man and will be missed by anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. We want to express our deepest sympathy to his family, especially Alisse Ryan. Love, Dennis and Sally
Dear Sandy–When my children ask about people who have infuenced the woman I became–Your name comes up. Your compassion and generosity of spirit for every person walking through the door of S. O. Hawkes and Son was quintessential modeling of what a human being can be. In turn, I try to model that spirit for my family and community. Through you, I feel I know your father. So many years have passed–and I read the notice of your father’s passing quite by accident. I take that back. There are no accidents. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Sandy. I’d love to reconnect. Blessings and an enormous hug.
I’m sorry I will not be able to make the service. I just want to send my sympathy to you for such a nice man. Your hearts should be full! Peace, Kathy church office secretary
Dear Marceline, Sandy, Paul, Steve and families:
We wanted to let you know our prayers are with you in the death of Uncle Paul. We have many wonderful memories of his visits to Colorado. We loved him dearly and always enjoyed his visits and calls, particularly when he called when Mom died. It was much appreciated by Barb, Allen and myself. We will not be able to attend the services but will be there in thought. May the Lord give you a rich measure of His grace at this time.
Much love, Johnny and Mary
