To the family of Paul Chisum: "Beam Me Up Scottie" Anyone who knew Paul knows exactly what's that's about. I thought the world of Paul, it is a shame that we had lost touch throughout the years. There are many fond memories of times that Paul and I have shared together. Paul was very dedicated to his family and his work which provided for his family. He was always very kind to everyone that he came in contact with. Paul will be missed by many. Sissy, Sarah, Keith, I am very sorry for your loss. May the LORD be with you all during this time. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. Timothy & Christine Green

Paul and I were in Stark High School A Capella Choir where he sang tenor and I was a baritone. The choir was a award winner each spring at UIL Contest. We sang in First Baptist Church (downtown) Youth Choir. He was an equipment manager for football during his Junior year. I went to school with Paul from First Grade at Anderson Elementary thru 8th grage Junior High at North Junior High School to graduation from Stark High School in 1973. Sad loss for us all.

(John J. Leveque) I hate to hear this. I really liked Paul. I will always remember him for his kindness and thoughtfulness. Paul was always the first one to make coffee for us when we were in our training classes. I never heard the man speak a negative word about anybody. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Even though Tony had 5 little brothers he always looked up to Paul as a big brother. We would not be the people we are today without your guidance early on in our lives. We love all of you like family and we are so heartbroken for you. Rest In Peace with Constance.
