To be his neighbor was to hear him yell out when he saw you: "hello, neighbor!" He loved and cared deeply for his children, whom he'd brag about, and his wife, whom he affectionately called "his girl." He was rich with friends and his friends cared for him deeply, because he was always there for them. He cared deeply for this country. He is a man we won't forget. He worked so hard for so many years and he has earned his place of rest at the feet of our Lord. God bless you Paul. Thanks for so much.

A neighbor for 11 years, we'll never forget his yelling out when he saw you, "Hello, neighbor!" He loved his wife, whom he affectionately called "his girl." He truly, truly loved his kids and I know they loved him. He was passionate about so much, with friendships and neighbors taking care of neighbors being high on that list. We his neighbors will miss him. The greatness of a man is the amount of friends he has and Paul had many. People loved being around him. God bless you, Paul, and may He caress your weary head in assurance that you both deserve and earned your peaceful rest with Him.

My great-grandfather was Vincent Cutrupi from Flushing and later Leeds, NY who would have been probably a brother to Paul's grandfather. Please accept my condolences at your loss. The family has gotten so small over the years. I wish I had known him.
