Jorge.. you were a good friend and I will miss hearing your laugh and sense of humor.. feel like I have known you my whole life.. almost.. rest in peace Paul❤️
Remembering the very first time I met Paul-summer of 1969. Julie Ingberg, myself, and Mary Kay Jorgenson(little sister) left Fargo for a fun night at the D.L. Pavilion and upon arrival noted two good looking dudes leaning casually, in their “jeans and jean jacket” attire, against the eturned home exterior wall of the Paviiliin and looking oh so cool. It was then Mary Kay introduced us to her brother Paul- who recently had returned home fron active duty in Vietnam. That was the beginning of a friendship that spanned some 56 years! The memories- I could write a novel! The best , like Julie said, was infectious laugh and sense of humor. You were honorable and caring in life and truly will be missed- the Heavens will never be the same with yourself and Dennis together!
