Despite the years that have passed since I last wrote in this guest book, you remain in my thoughts every day. The memory of your voice echoes in my mind, a testament to the lasting impact you've had on my life. I will forever cherish the memories we shared the good and the bad, and the love that you always shown me continues to guide me through life. I miss and love you dad.

We will always remember you with tenderness! Your sense of humor, and love of family! When you see Dolly in heaven I am sure you both will be looking down smiling at us who have been left behind.

Dad I can hardly belive that two months have passed since the last time you where among us. And yet it seems like yesterday we were all having coffee at Dunkins, Your words are inbeadded in my heart your face is in my minds eye I still can see you and feel your hugs everytime we meet. You left a foot print on my soul a foot print that no one can ever fofill. Whether you where right or wrong their was always something to learn from your words. I still sometimes want to pick up the phone and call you, I drive by the Dunkin Donuts on Rt.1 still hoping to see your car parked there, I just want you to know you will be missed this Holiday Season more than ever, But the Paulo's will weather the Storm. One day dad, and it will come that I'll stand at your head stone and be able to say good bye. but for now I will carry this heart acke. And remember the good and the bad times until I'm ready to let you go, your with me day and night. Love your Son James Anthony Paulo

Hi Dad. I just uploaded some photos. Here it is. 1:15am Dec 19,2008. Two months have passed today. Yesterday we had coffee. Yes we are keeping up the family coffee. Uncle Sonny and Auntie Pat have become part of the family get togethers. I am so happy to have them in my life now. I wish Dad that we got together with your brother more in the past then now. It is strange how a death can change a persons heart and how we handle life now. I have talked to you over a billion times in my head now. I have cried till my eyes had no tears left. I still feel like it is a dream. At times I am so lost without you then i stop and say dad tell me what i should do. And i listen and I hear your voice in my head from the past. And hearing you saying to me. I am fine, I am strong, I am an oxe.. Be like me.. And i wipe the tears away for awhile and I say ok dad I will be strong. So i get by that day.. and as well as others.. But sometimes.. I just want to give up, and let in this pain and the ache i have. But I know your saying take care of your mother as you always have said to me.. So i am strong for her.. Yesterday would have been the day we would have exchanged gifts for xmas. Next week everyone. Yes the whole family is heading over to Nancy and Tom's.. We are spending at least 4 days there.. You would be happy to have us all together again. It has been a few years since the family did this.. So watch over us. And make sure that if we start to cry over you.. to yell in their head.. Be an OXE Be STRONG.. Just like your old man.. Because it has helped me at times.. I am sorry I am going on and on.. I just have so much inside of me. I want to write it all down. But there isn't enough space on the net or paper in the world to write it. I hardly see anyone posting here and it is sad. My father was loved by so many and I was just wondering where they all are. Why hasn't my step brothers and step sisters posted on here? Is it wrong that we do? Is this guest book just for friends and not family? Maybe these questions are not right to ask. I don't know.. But I am just writing questions I have no answers for.. Don't need to have the answers.They are just thoughts. I hope I didn't get to deep in this posting. I don't know if anyone reads these besides Virgina and my family.. Well Merry Christmas Virginia. Thank you again for keeping this open. As I can attest it is a much needed place for some people to go to and just let it out.. Anything I can do.. as I offered before. Please let me know..
Your great grandson William

Tony I have known you for a long time. I first met you at Dunkin donuts. That was many years ago. I was having a bad day as I remember and when I walked into DD to get my usual coffee.. You said Good morning sunshine. You have no idea how you saying that effected the rest of that day for me. I went to work feeling better and the day went well. Because of you. Ever since I have met you in just about every dunkin donuts around. I even met you and your family several times. You talked to me, I met your Son, Your two daughters and daughter in-law and one of your granddaughters. You were all talking and laughing. It made me smile knowing you have such a great time with your family. I noticed something different when i first walked in to grab my coffee on Thursday. The place was not as cheery and there was not much laughter. I did not see your smiling face, but i did see sadness all around your family. I had to go over and ask how everyone was doing. That was when they told me of your passing. I was in shock. I just could not believe what i had just heard. Your Son who gently told me, also introduced me to your brother. He looks so much like you. I almost had to catch my breath. The tears from your youngest daughter as I said my condolences was heartbreaking. I could see the sorrow in your children's eyes. Tony although they are grieving, I also noticed they had your beautiful smile, and loving heart. Your family welcomed me into their arms like i was part of the family. Just like you did that first day i met you. They lost a great man.. But you are living on in their blood. Something no one can take away from them. I wish to express my fullest condolences to such a wonderful, kind, generous, and loving family. You are missed by them and as well by those that you have touched in your life and didn't even know you did. Thank you Tony. You will never be forgotten.

Dad, I've been talking to your Brother my uncle Dominick, and he told me to tell you how sorry he is that he couldn't make it up for the wake, He told me how you call him every week or every other week and that you where planing to go down there next year sometime, he's gonna miss the times you spent with him on the phone or in person. He's very lonely there right now I'm thinking of going down after the holidays are over with Uncle Sonny. we'll see. Dad I miss you so very very much I didn't know how much I 'd miss you till you where gone. And now I know because The Pain has not left me, but your in my thoughts always. I love you,! your son Jim.
Dad your Great grandson.

Congratulations Dad. Your first Great grandson was born this morning 11-16-08 at 4:45am. 8lbs 1oz. 20in. "William Allen Cyr" Melissa was in labor for over 26 hours.
I know you are watching down on him & smiling. As you are watching down on all of us.
I love you, Dad and miss you so much. I just can't believe that on the 19th Wednesday, it will be a month since God has taken you from us. It all seems like a dream to me and I just want to wake up.
I am enclosing a photo of your Great grandson for you and all others to see.

Dad it's hard to believe that it's been almost a month since you left us. I know your at peace, but what you don't know how hard it's been on us if I had known that the last Thursday we all had coffee would be the last time I saw you and even talked with you. I would have said so much more. Dad it's been hard for me knowing your not here with us any more But just to let you know I loved you so much more than words could have ever said. Through it all the good times and the bad time you never once stop loving me. I just hope that I don't miss my time to let my own son know just how much he's love by me. I miss you dad but I've got you in my heart forever. love your son Jim

Dad, it has been a week since we laid you to rest. I miss you so much. There is this ache in my heart that won't stop hurting. People say it will hurt for awhile but you move on. I don't think i will ever be able to move on with out you. Jimmy, Nancy and Diane are hurting just the same. But I felt the need to write in here and tell you how much i love you and miss you. I will write from time to time. Ps. I also wanted to thank you Virginia for setting this Guest Book up for all. I am sorry that i didn't get the chance to thank you personality. Those two days were very hard on all of my dads family and it was a blur to me. So I am writing it here. Thank you so much for keeping this guest book for everyone and if there is anything I can do to help support you in keeping it up please let me know. Big hugs to you Virginia. Love, Janette Paulo

Dad, what can I say, you have always been my strength. You held me up when I was falling. You held my hand knowing that I was strong enough to make it thought the darkest of days, even if I could not see it. You new me better then I new myself. Thank You for always being my Dad. I Love You Soooo Much. When I think about not being able talk to you, to hug or kiss you, to embrace all that you are. To think about you being gone and never hearing your voice again leaves me empty and numb. All I want is to wake up form this nightmare! For there will never be another you. I will miss you deeply.
Love always and forever your Daughter

I just wanted to share a memory with all of you.
When I told Kaylin, that Grandpa Tony went to heaven, she said, "that is Papa Jim's daddy, right" and I told her yes. She said to me "remember when we were at Dunkin Donuts and he let me put a stamp on his face". It made me smile. I remembered it well and how much fun she had that day.
Just the little things in life we take for granted have now been proven that we shouldn't take anything for granted.
That memory my daughter has with him was a fun and great one she will have forever. I am very thankful she got to meet him and we will make sure she will remember Grandpa Tony forever!!!!

To my Uncle Anthony,
I will miss your smiling face. I am so glad that I got to see you in August and get one of your big bear hugs. You reminded me so much of my dad, now you will be with him. Rest in peace.
I love you Dad and I will miss you always.

Dad, I know that you are safe in God's hands. That he will take away all your worries you had for your kids. We all know how much you loved us and wanted us to be happy.
You never thought of yourself when it came to your 4 kids. When I would say dad, how are you feeling? You would say "I am strong like and ox, It's you I worry about"
Well I've cried a million plus tears since God has taken you. And I can hear your voice in my head telling me to be strong. Just like your old man. I am trying.I really am.
I was the baby of your family and very proud to have two beautiful sisters, A handsome brother and a mother and father who stopped at nothing to help their kids.
I will always have you in my heart. I will always see your face filled with love. I will try to do what is right. I will try to always be strong.
I will see you when my time comes. Love you, your daughter Janette

Dad I can't tell you how much I love you. The words just never came out of my lips, there were so many times you came to my aid in time of need. And when I wanted to reach out and hold you something always got in the way. The words where never said, and now with great regret I will never get to tell you how much you meant to me even in the bad time when we didn't see eye to eye you never stopped loving me. Oh how I wish you where here so I could make up for those times. I always thought there would be time for us to find that closeness than Fathers and sons should have. Dad my heart is aching cause that time will never come. Regardless of what happened to me you where their. I gonna miss the coffee times we had together, and the hand that always reach out to me as we gave each other a hug and a kiss as a sign of respect I had for you. I 'm really gone to miss you. My life has changed because of your passing. You just don't know when it's our time to leave this Earth. And your time came to fast cause now I can not tell you how much I really loved you. God may your peace be with him and All the people he touched. Dad you will always be in my thoughts and in my heart. Love your son. Jimmy Boy.

My Deepest Respects To Your Family,
I go back with Tony many years ago, He was my idol ,and I wanted to do what he was doing and that was doing demolition,I use to go and watch him take down buildings with his Catapillar 977k which he called "Big Moe" he was an unbelievable operator and there was no job he couldn't do. As the years went by I use to call him to run my machine and he would come and bail me out when I was having problems with the job.I'll always have him in my prayers and thoughts.

Dear Paulo Family,
I heard of Tony's passing last evening. My thoughts and prayers go out to every member of his very special family. Although I only had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with Tony on a few occasions he was someone that immediatley made you feel so welcome, comfortable and special. His smile and laugh will always be remembered. The deep love and committment he had for his family was so clear......I feel blessed to have known him and pray to God to comfort everyone in this very sad and difficult loss. I have been friends with Rob & Al for many years and I know what a huge part of their lives Tony was. He truly was a gift to this world and everyone whose life he touched. Just have to believe he must have been called on to help with something greater on the other side...and that he will continue to smile down and watch over all those he loved so dearly.

Dad, there are no words to describe the emptiness that I feel right now. You were always so strong and indestructible, so I thought, and now you?re gone. When we talked on the phone last Friday afternoon about my getting a new car, whoever thought it would be the last time we talked. You were so full of life, laughing, joking and yelling at me to make sure I got a good car and not a junk box because Tom needed a good car too. It was you just you being you and I am going to miss that so much. When I came home Sunday, after leaving the hospital, I had to make my phone calls letting everyone that I made it home safely, Dad I dialed your number to let you know that I was home but you were not there.
I am going to miss you so much.
Dad, rest in peace.
I love you.

To the Paulo Family:
I am sorry for your loss. I am Rose Paulo's grandson Christopher's girlfriend Amanda. Christopher thought of him as he thought of his Papa, his hero. I only met Tony once and that was at Philip's wedding back in August. He will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep an eye on your family Tony. They all need you right now. Rest in Peace.
