How sad that someone has to ask a stupid question like "Why is this newsworthy?" Stop being such a jerk and have some respect for the family!

to 5:18 PM. Why would you say that and anonymously at that? He was a good man. I hate when people who spend their lives doing wrong get all the attention. I'm glad there was a story about him. Good people rock, you should try to become one.

It's newsworthy because Paul was a well respected person in the IC community. He devoted much of his time to helping children!!!
