I remember Paul fondly. When I was organist at Emmanuel Church, he frequently helped out at the 5:15 PM Saturday Mass. He certainly loved to sing, he loved to cantor, and he especially enjoyed the old traditional hymns. Paul once brought along his widowed father and his father's lady friend. I smile to that memory as it was charming and heart-warming to see how they interacted so happily together. I close my eyes and can hear you singing right now Paul!
