My condolences go out to you and your family. I just learned about Sumner's passing and I feel badly that I wasn't able to come to your home during shiva. I always enjoyed speaking with Sumner and I learned alot from him. It was great seeing him a few weeks ago at Walgreens and I will always remember how strong a man he was. Jackie Miller

My dearest Paulive friends and family,
I know I speak on behalf of my entire family when I say that dad was one of a kind with a heart equally as special. From our Breer Circle memories including supporting our many theater productions , Carnival for M.D. with Rex Trailer and just enjoying all the neighborhood children and our Kick the Can and Flash Light games, dad was right there... Many years later, I met up again with him at the Pharmacies including Needham where I enjoyed visits and his wonderful compassion and wisdom still then... so many memories that I know will remain with us forever. Those were truly the best days that we can only hope our children and grandchildren will be lucky enough to experience. Though distant in miles, we remain vey close in heart... thank-you for sharing dad with our family... All our love and sympathies to you and your extended families.

To the Paulive Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our heartfelt condolences go out to each of you.
May your memories bring you comfort during this difficult time and in the days ahead.

Dearest Papa Sum,
It was many years ago we met in DW Park. We often joked at how destiny had brought us together, but we knew it was true. You have always been a special friend to me and the best Papa to your “grandkids” – oh how they adore you.
I will cherish the memories and be ever so grateful for the void you filled in my life as your “adopted daughter”. Your smile, your wisdom, spirit, zest for life, endless storytelling, fearlessness and warm heart has had and will continue to influence and inspire me.
Sumner, we will miss you terribly, but continue to hold you close to hearts until we meet again.
“God won't ask how many friends you had, but will ask how many people to whom you were a true friend.” Thank you my friend for this rare and treasured gift <3
Our Love always,
Donna,
Casey & Lucah, Dexter & Phoenix
