He often commented how well he was treated.<\/p>\n<p>Paul had chosen to live in outdoor settings most of his adult life. It seemed to help relieve the pressures he felt when being part of society. Paul learned to survive any weather conditions and any other situations that came up.<\/p>\n<p>The events that led to Paul&#8217;s death were not caused because the TABLE facility was not yet open. It was Paul&#8217;s poor decision making that evening.<\/p>\n<p>We are happy to know that the TABLE will be opening soon for those who need it and hopefully shelters in other communities will be built as well. In situations like this, people&#8217;s emotions run high and tend to look for blame. There is no one to blame in this case.<\/p>\n<p>I spoke with Paul on November 17th and he said he would like to come home for two weeks at Christmas but would head HOME to Huntsville after that.<\/p>\n<p>On Paul&#8217;s behalf; Thanks to Everyone!<\/p>\n<p>Goodbye Paul.
