I heard about his death from some New Tribes friends who enjoyed his upbeat supply flights, often bringing them fresh pineapple as a treat.

The more I think about uncle Paul the more I see that he was truly living out Christ's love to the Papuan people. There is no doubt that Paul was a man of God, that he was a good father, and a good husband. He'd go out of his way to serve others and bring joy to their lives.<br /><br />Lennart KronemanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135220707817483212.post-25375111454093085842011-09-27T11:06:23.071-04:002011-09-27T11:06:23.071-04:00Thank you so much for your wonderful article.

We've always loved your writing and it's nice to know it's viral. We heard of the accident again Saturday night in Portland OR at the reunion of the old WWII GI's who started SEND International -- the speaker, Commodore Gary Stubbs, was the father of another Wycliffe pilot in Papua. Small world. Thanks for sharing the writing "Muddy Dancing Shoes" and the powerful reminder that encouragement goes far further than criticism.
