Mr. Laneau,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

You are all in our prayers and Paul is at peace now with angels. He shared with us his friendly smile, his wisdom, all his navy stories, his cherry tomatoes in the summer time, his big heart, and gentle ways. He shall be missed dearly, but will live always in our hearts and prayers. May you find comfort in the many special memories of the one you loved so much.

Our Deepest Sympathy,
John & Helen Flaherty (Family)
