Paul Bonneau was my mother's orchestra conductor at the Methodist church in Flower Mound. I have only met him a few times, however, he made a profound impact on the life of my mother and the church. Upon hearing of his death I decided to add this memorial in honor of him. He is dearly missed by me, my mom, and all those that have ever known him.
***If anyone has information about his death, burial, or other information, please contact me and I will add it.
