Paul impacted my life greatly from a very early age...like many of my family members I worked at one of Paul's stores. The infrastructure of quality products and great customer service he and his family created in their stores taught me the value of a hard days work. I learned invaluable skills and strongly believe that if I hadn't worked for Paul in my teens I wouldn't have the same quality work ethic I have today. Although it's been many years since I last shook Paul's giant hand, I'll miss him dearly. My warmest thoughts and condolences to Sally, Liz, Paul Jr, Phil, Doug, Liz and the all of the Thieneman family.
