Paul Cole

Tilford Paul Cole (Smiley), 64, of Denver Colorado passed away peacefully, but way too early, Friday, March 9th, 2018 in Lakewood, Colorado. Born and Adopted in Missouri, January, 1954, he lived most of his life and graduated from Cherry Creek highschool and Beauty school in Denver, CO. He is preceded in death by his parents, both educators, father Tilford and mother and best friend, Alma Coperich Cole.

Paul was Extremely Proud of his recently reunited Daughter, Kelly Renee (Muse) Cole, grandchildren Angelina Nicole, D’Angelo James and son in-law Kurt Muse Sr as well as his step grandchildren Kurt Jr, Frank and great granddaughter Ashlynn Nicole.

Paul was an only child but made family and lifelong friends in Colorado, Florida, and Atlanta.

Hospitality was how Paul made his living and lived his life where his bright smile, loving peaceful personality, and dance moves touched many lives forever.
