Dear Nancy and family,
So sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I'll always remember when we worked together at Schatz Bearing - his friendly greeting was Hi, how are you doing? He always had time for a freindly word.
With sincere sympathy,
Pearl Scherf

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
