Remembering Paul Giebitz Sr.

When I was a child

You were larger than life

When I was a teen

You were harder than rock

When I was an adult

You rang the bells

Son, farmer, sailor, pilot,

Fireman, mason, family man

God speed with love, Uncle Paul

A mountain of a man

Home at last

Love Pamala
