Jamie, John, & Sas,
Glad to meet you over the weekend!
Kerry, Glad to see you again!
After my Mom passed on, I remember thinking "Oh, I'll have to tell Mom about that" so many times. And then I realized I could and so I did.
I hope you guys have lots of stories to tell your Dad & keep him up to date on the fun part of life!

Debbie,
Our hearts ache for your loss. Every time we had the opportunity to sit and talk with Paul, he spoke of his love and admiration for you. It was clear your connection was rooted in a deep spirituality and mutal love.
May your memories of your time together, his sense of humor, his love, and his gentle kindness get you through this difficult time. He's still with you and forever will be.
We're here if you need us.
Love, Lisa, David, Brendon, Troy and Miss Julia

Dear Debbie, So sorry for your loss of your Love and for the heartache I know you are going through. I met Paul with Dick in Atlantic City and have had the pleasure of spending some very interesting and different times with him. He was one of a kind. I never see peanut butter without thinking of him. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Marilyn Winter Doorley

Our thoughts go out to Paul's family. Paul was such a character. He married my husband Patrick and I. Patrick's first encounter with Paul was looking down at his hand and seeing the infamous drawn on watch. He knew this guy was alright! He'll be missed by all. Point Judith lost a legend.
