We send our sympathy on Paul's death to all the family. He was always a very nice person and such a gentleman and scholar. We just heard of his death from a family member from Woonsocket.

Paul was a patient, humble, kind and very good man. In the half century I have known him, I have never heard him say anything bad about anybody. He loved to tinker with cars and to be around the water. He was always ready to help others and gave much of himself without asking for something back. I have known very few people in my lifetime as fine a person as he has always been. The Angels will be caring for this Very Good Man.
