Hannah and Hayley: I worked with your Dad at Rochester PD. He was very serious about his work. But ask him about his daughters and it was as if the sun had emerged from behind the clouds. He loved to talk about his girls and their accomplishments. I'm so very sorry for your loss, and I wish you much strength as you travel this very difficult road. May fond memories sustain you in the days and weeks ahead.

I had the pleasure to work with and for Paul in years past at Rochester P.D. Paul was a great man and a great leader who loved life for what it had to offer. The many days on patrol and talking politics and sports doesn't seem that long ago. The shared military experiences with lifes twists and turns kept us busy raising our young familes and laughing. Paul is looking over us and smiling everyday. Hannah and Hayley I will tell you that between all the conversations I had with your father none are more memorable than when he spoke of you two. I know that everyone knows how much he loved you two and what you meant to him. I knew personally how much you touched his heart and he is still with you in your hearts. His love for you two was the greatest gift any father could give.The love you gave him in return was more than any father could ask for in a lifetime. Paul is with many of our friends and family whom have passed through the gates to heaven. They have called upon him to join them with God. Rest in peace my friend you have earned it. Until we meet again.

I had the privilege of working with Paul at RPD and was always impressed with how well he worked with the rookie officers. He had a thirst for knowledge and read everything he could get his hands on. He always worked hard at his job, but it was his 2 daughters who always held his heart. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.
