My deepest sympathy to Paul's family. I worked with him at Kemper
Insurance many years ago. He was a most dedicated Loss Control Engineer and an example to all.
We all learned a lot from him.

October 20, 2007

Our family was very sad to hear that Paul had passed away. We have wonderful memories of vacations in Falmouth with Paul and his children as guests of Paul's cousin, Helen. We admired Paul's devotion to his kids and his kindness to us. After the first year, we all couldn't wait to return again the next summer. It was crowded in that cottage, but we didn't mind. We enjoyed every minute. All the kids stayed close for many years, spending lots of time at the Leary's house. Paul was a wonderful father; he never objected to a few more kids sleeping over.

Paul, Katie, Suzy and John, you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Paul was a dedicated member of our Board of Directors since our creation in 1998, and a founding member of our predecessor organization, the Massachusetts Construction Safety Congress. He was truly dedicated to safeguarding the lives and health of working men and women and to giving back to his community. Paul's compassion was genuine and he served as a role model for us all. He will be sorely missed.

John & Beth,
Everyone at work was stunned and saddened to hear about your Dad yesterday. It all happened so fast, which is good that he didn't have to suffer long, but I'm sure much too quick for all of you. I remember meeting him last year and thinking how handsome he was and that he resembled my (Irish) dad! Again I'm sorry for your loss and all you are going through right now.
We're all thinking of you at work.
Love,
Karen
