So sorry for your loss. Paul was a good friend and co-worker. He will be missed by his Burns & McDonnell family.
I am praying for comfort, peace and healing for the family.
Paul was one of the “good guys” at Burns & McDonnell. Paul was “Google” before the internet. We would ask him questions on any subject and he would answer them in simple understandable West Virginian english.

Miss him already!
So very sorry for your loss and the grief accompanies it, but at the same time grateful for his faith. Prayers for your family during this time.
My condolences to the family! I worked with Paul several times at Burns & McDonnell. He is going to be missed by all who knew him!
My prayers are with Paul and his entire family.
Paul was a great co-worker, a great mentor and a great friend.
I remember if we would have to work on Saturday mornings, he would have the “oldie country music” station tuned in and turned up. Paul just made work more bearable.
And for lunches he would always sign up to bring a chocolate peanut butter pie!!!
Paul will be missed but remembered always.
RIP My Friend.
Wishing comfort and peace to family and friends. So sorry for your loss. Michael and Sarah
My condolences to the White family! Paul was a great, old-school draftsman, was able to be very proficient in computer-aided-drawings, and a great resource for our structural department at Burns & McDonnell. He was a wonderful co-worker and friend and made a difference with everyone he worked with.
Condolences to the White family. Paul was a good man, a good friend and always ready to help as needed on the job.
I met Paul when he was loaned to us in T&D. Paul was a gentleman’s gentleman, a mentor, a teacher, and a friend. Living in close proximity to HyVee, I enjoyed our sometimes lengthy conversations in the aisles. Paul always had offerings of resolutions without intimidation, and always made those he crossed paths with feel valued in his friendship. I left those conversations feeling blessed, having a solid friend by my side. We often crossed paths with those strong in their faith, who present that strength without preaching, but as an example. Paul was one of those disciples. With Godspeed my friend. I will miss our conversations, dearly.
