Paul L. Strom - Escanaba, MI
Also known as , “da Boss,” or “the Governor,” he was one of the best country music singers and guitar players around. His unique voice stood him apart from all of us. He could fix anything mechanically and was very reasonable with his repair bills. A loyal friend, mentor, good guy. REST IN PEACE Jim. With Love, Paul L
Strom.
