Paul and Kate were like Uncle and Aunt to me when I was a lad. Elsa was like a cousin.
Great people

I still think about Paul often. I worked for him for 22 years and his hardware store.
I did it all ! What was supposed to be an office job turned into a do everything job.
I loved doing everything and enjoyed it. Paul was a tough boss but a good employer. He worked very hard but was very fair to his customers.
I still think of him when I go into a hardware store and know the names of the tools I need.
I knew Paul well and I can guarantee that he is driving the Angels crazy.
RIP Paul

Dear friends,

I just want to thank you for your sharing and memories and sweetness around the passing of my father.

I am continually reminded by people who knew him at all stages of his life, what a unique, lively and generous person he was.

I remember him and my Mother with great love.

Dear Elsa and family,

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one.

I was planning to visit Paul again this month but unfortunately his time came before that meeting.

I shall always remember Paul for his caring ways and generosity to me and my family throughout the 40+ years I have known him.

Even though he moved to Florida, he always referred to Leominster as home. He would often phone me to get updates on what was happening in town And I would call him new happenings.

I indeed have lost a good friend.
