Was just thinking about you, Paul. It's good that you can still make me laugh even though you've been gone for going on 3 years. "Joy is in the ears that hear, not in the mouth that speaks. The world has few stories glad in themselves, and we must have gay ears to defy Despite."

Sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I remember being simultaneously impressed and terrified by Paul when we were both on the Dowling debate team--I'm sure that's what he was going for! I was a year younger than him, and he was a great mentor to me and his other junior colleagues. It seemed very fitting that he later became a debate coach. My condolences to Carl and the rest of the family. I have fond memories of our times together.

A truly kind and original soul. I had hundreds of wonderful random discussions with Paul (always, affectionately, Blurb to me). He was kind and engaging to all who came into contact with him. Condolences to Carl and family.

Paul was always a great person with whom to argue, which is the greatest compliment one can give to a true debater. Blurb, we will miss you!

Paul was a stalwart in the HS Debate Community. He was a dedicated educator of many young debaters. He unselfishly gave of his time and talents to the activity he loved. I have many fond memories over many years. I treasured all the times talking about debate, philosophy and of course sports.

My deepest sympathy to you during this difficult time. Blurb was a good friend of my brother Jerry's and I fondly remember him and the rest of the high school gang coming over to play games at our house when I was a little girl. I also remember him as a parishioner at All Saints he was always on the balcony counting heads during Sunday morning mass. He was a very kind and caring man.

I will miss him at the door of 10:30 mass and at the ticket table at the end of each Knights of Columbus meal where he counted the tickets. I will miss his always being there. Always.
