He was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic Parish, Whitinsville, and the Worcester Racing Pigeon Club. He also played softball for many years as a member of the South Grafton Men's Softball League.
A graveside service in Fairview Cemetery, South Grafton, will be scheduled at a later date. There are no calling hours. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to Evercare Hospice, 950 Winter St., Waltham, MA 02481.

Hi Mary,
I am so sorry to hear of Pauls passing. I have not been delivering meals on Thursday for about 6 weeks, because of a shoulder injury. I starting delivering again on Dec. 11, and noticed Paul was not on my list of deliveries. So when I finished I ask the manager why Paul was off and he told me the sad news. I will miss talking with Paul very very much, I really enjoyed our chats. Again I am so sorry for your loss and if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know okay. Also give Yogi a hug for me too. May God Bless you and comfort you always.

Mary, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Paul. He and I had shared many conversations about the Army family in the past. I remember the days in Grafton as neighbors. I recently confirmed information on Paul's family name from Canada. Feel free to contact me via email so that your children can share in this data.

I only had the privilege of knowing Paul for a short period of time. He was a sweet gentleman, and this world is less for him not being in it. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
