The family would like to offer a thank you to all of the staff of Clover Healthcare and a special thank you to Janel for her loving care, and also Paul’s daughter, Kim, a Clover employee who went above and beyond to care for the needs of her dad. He was greatly loved and will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
