While Paul was in Durham he became good friends of Paramedic Rob Stabbe and his son, Ben. They continued their friendship through the years. They attended Carolina Hurricanes games together and Paul also became one of Ben's biggest fans when he played youth hockey.


Earlier this month Ben's team, the 18U Sharks, took second place in the 2009-2010 Canes Cup of the Triangle. Ben and Rob received silver medals and immediately dedicated the season and their medals to the memory of their biggest fan and encourager, Paul Boyer.


Rob describes Paul as a man who loved God, loved people, loved hockey and made a

profound impact on him and an even greater impact on Ben's life.


We salute the memory of Paul Boyer in this issue. A man who lived his life wide open and gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving others.


In Jesus' Name,

Chaplain Ralph
