Carol Ryan (Formerly Carol Jansen)
I am saddened with news of the death of Mr. Paine. I was his employee from 1976-1980. He taught me so much. I later became a CPA and partner of a Colorado CPA firm. He was very generous with his time and also his pay increases (as I remember). I have lived in Colorado since 1980 but stopped in Decatur within the last five years (forgot exactly) and was able to visit with him. I remember us laughing and enjoying our visit. I’m not sure who is reading this (maybe somehow Mr. Paine!) but thank you for making me the CPA I became.
