Paulie I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I just found out and am sitting here in disbelief. I had just spoken to him a day or so before his passing. I hope you know just how much he loves you and how proud he is of you. Every time we would talk, it was about what was going on with you or Tab & Eric. I am so happy I had met you and I will never forget what a wonderful man he is. I will always hold fond memories of him within my heart.Hold your head up high and be strong. My prayers are with you and all of the family.

May God Bless this family. I had the pleasure of getting to know Paul through a Yahoo chat room. I also got to meet him in person along with many other friends and spent a wonderful weekend with them all in Niagara Falls. I'll never forget that wonderful time. There was so much laughter and friendship. He was loved and will be missed by all that knew him.
