As Team Leader of the group of ladies from the Garden Club of Cape Coral who tend the Rose Garden at the Historical Society, I send the Sanborn family our heartfelt sympathy. Paul always appreciated the Rose garden and it's nice to know that it gave him pleasure. His was a very full life and he always gave of himself freely. He will be sorely missed.

Sometimes in life you never know who you will meet, by seeing his daughter Donna i never knew how good and great a man her farther was. It is truly amazing of all that he has done in life for his family, country, and community. May he rest in peace, it's his time to be with his beloved wife now. God Bless

Dear Carol, Donna & Mary...Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. If we lived as your Dad did, the world would be a brighter place. "Rather than mourn the loss of the flame, celebrate how brightly it burned." Thanks for sharing Paul with us. He will live on in our hearts

Uncle Paul was the very best uncle a nephew could have. Thankfully we had a fantastic time together this past March. We have the best memories of him and of the time spent with Carol, Donna and Mary. Love you all.

To Paul's Family and many friends. We are blessed to be included in the circle of people who knew and loved Paul. He was a true gentleman and a man with a sharp mind/memory of his life experiences and particularly his participation in the establishment of Cape Coral. We all enjoyed his historical review of "his" city. We will miss Paul when winter comes and we visit our Cape Coral home. Love and prayers for the Sanborn family.

One of the 'best' people I ever met. Paul's friendship during my 10 years in Cape Coral was so beneficial. A great man. When I think of Cape Coral I think of Paul Sanborn.

There are no words to express how much Paul Sanborn meant to me individually over the years. He was sincerely a true gentleman and a great giver of "time, talent, and treasure".

Heaven truly received a great angel. God bless you, Paul.

My deepest sympathies to your families for the loss of such a wonderful man.
I met Paul when I briefly volunteered at the Cape Coral Historical Museum, and when he learned that I had worked at The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, he immediately invited me to attend a meeting with him. It was a very sweet and kind thing to do.
I only spoke with him a few times after that, but his friendly and warm personality really touched me.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Barbara
