I think of Paul every day when I look out the window onto Foster Avenue in Marshfield. Paul was a wonderful neighbor and friend to my family for over 50 years. Rest in peace-the beach isn't the same.

Paul, you were a fascinating man. You showed us all how to be a good friend and a good neighbor to everyone. You were kind to all the neighborhood children for as long as I can remember and taught us all by your actions how to be good and decent people. My children and I will miss you but know you are in God's arms so it makes it easier for us to bid you farewell. Rest in Peace, Paul.
Until we meet again,
Denise
