Not sure what to say?

Father Paschal {or Sidney to his old friends} was a very intelligent, witty, talented, and loyal person. His voyage from a young Jewish boy to a seasoned Catholic priest was a story worthy of a book or movie. He was one of my closest friends and confidants for years and I cherish his memory and his infleunce.

For the family of Father Baumstein, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

I will never forget you.

Thank you, Father Paschal, for your kindness, your laughs, and your prayers when asked...and I'm sure when not asked, too. I'll never be in the theatre at The Abbey without thinking of you.

You are now where you have longed to be for so many years. Thanks for all the happy times we shared--the laughter, music, and so many wonderful memories which I treasure. You will always occupy a special place in my heart until we meet again. Heartfelt condolences go to Mrs. Mae, Alan, and all your family, friends, and colleagues. Who could ever fill the void created by your unique spirit?

So sorry for the loss of Fr. Paschal. He touched the lives of so many. May God give strength to those who are in so much pain at this time especially you Jim(Simon). He is up there now with Dad watching over us.

All of our love, Anton and Virginia

He will be missed. I sincerely appreciate all the times he prayed for me, fellow cast members and crew. His amazing talent, intellect and faith have been an inspiration to us all. As his final curtain falls, I feel certain that the Master Playwright is pleased with the story his life has told.

We were all blessed who knew you

Forty years of friendship through many incarnations of being and purpose for both of us have left a lasting and indelible mark on my memory, my mind, and my heart. You will be missed on many levels but never forgotten. Yours was a unique spirit and a unique personality. Thanks for the important part you played in my life and for the multitude of fond memories.
