I remember Paul and his family very well from our days on Vinton Avenue; I have nothing but good memories in that regard. God bless him on the other side, and God bless those he left behind.

I'm very sorry to hear about this. I was a friend of Paul's during our grade-school days at Whig Hill School. He was a nice guy and a funny guy, and was a good friend. Rest in peace, Paul.

Paul is one of my old buddy's, we went to school together and had a lot of fun while growing up. I can remember so much in our school days and later we used to ride to work together when we worked at Rockford Products. I will miss paul so much but our memories together will live forever, may the good lord be with you. Jim Wright & family.

I am so sorry to hear about Paul. He was a great guy. I have not seen him in probably about 40 years but when he was in the service he brought me a set of beer glasses from Germany and I still have them today and I always think of Paul when we use them. I know he will be missed by all.
