My family and I were so sad to hear of Eleanors passing. We really enjoyed visiting with her and listening to her stories of her house, the dealership, the way Scituate used to be, and her husband Paul. We will miss our neighbor.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Young Family.

My late husband and I were customers of Paul Young for many years beginning in 1969 until Paul passed away. I remember Mrs. Young working in the dealership and she was a perfect lady. Always friendly and polite to the customers. Mrs. Crowley was very nice also, I believe she was Paul's sister.
Paul and Mrs. Young were a wonderful couple.

I will miss Aunt Eleanor and feel very sad that she has passed away. I'm glad she lived a very long and productive life. I feel she is with my Uncle Paul in heaven now and peace and happiness are what they've found. Although we didn't chat a lot and had fewer visits thru the years, she still was my "Aunt Eleanor" and my last living Aunt.I'm so glad she had a wonderful niece and family to look after her in her old age. She had a strong personality and was very witty and a great person to listen to.Sending sincere sympathy to all her other family members.. Susan Meinerth

My deepest sympathy goes to the Young Family. I used to go down to Paul Young's as a young child with my grandfather, George Whittaker. The Youngs were very nice people. May the memories you have of Eleanor bring you comfort now and always! May she be resting peacefully!
