Ewalt always enjoyed sharing these interests with his family and friends.

One Condolence for “PAUL Ewalt”

  1. Darla Quinn says:

    Lilly, Alan and Elaine,

    I am truly sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved Ewalt. I know Alan and the wonderful person he is and that he got his passion for the outdoors; of fishing, hunting and golfing from his wonderful father. I am surprised that Ewalt’s love of dance was not passed on to Alan.

    Take care in this time of turmoil and pain. My heart goes out to you all.

    Darla
