I am very sad to hear the news, and my thoughts and prayers go to the friends and family of Paul.

I worked with Paul many years ago at Seabrook, and always had very high respect for him.

I only wish I had learned sooner of the services, as I am disappointed I wasn't able to make it.

My thoughts and prayers go the family and friends of Paul. I will always smile when I think of him, as he was a great man.

Rob Strange.

I was saddened to hear of Paul's death. We were neighbors( I lived on Fairmount Ave) and schoolmates when we were all kids. I have the deepest sympathy for the family.

Renee & Family,
I don't think I ever met you, but I worked at Seabrook Station from 1981 until the lay-off in 2004. I worled in IRG Computer Services Dept. for about 12 years. I knew Paul and remember him as described by many of the Guest Book entries. Don Flahardy from the plant sent me an e-mail about the accident. We lived in Seabrook, Fremont and Sommersworth while I worked there.
I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Paul. I was also in the AF from 1966 - 1971 and a Captain. We talked some about the old days. I have been thinking and praying for your family at this time of your loss. May God's peace and grace be real to all of you.

Christi,
I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I was as shocked as most of us are! Please give your mom, sister, and brother my condolences. Much love and prayers during this hard time for you and your family.

Renee and Family,

I have known of Paul for many years at Seabrook, but until recently, never had the opportunity to work with him. In the short time that I have had the pleasure to work with him (the past 6 months), I found that he was truly someone you could rely on to quickly and efficiently assist you. Truly, this is a great loss to both his family and his co-workers.

My sincerest condolences for your loss. You are in my prayers and thoughts daily.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

It was such a shock to learn of Paul's passing. What a wonderful, sweet man, known as "Laura's daddy" at Mrs. Mahoney's and the preschool. God bless each of you during this very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
