My condolences to Paul's family and friends on his loss... I knew Paul during my teenage years when I was playing in the folk group at St Eulalia's. Paul was kind, caring, easy-going, full of humor and a positive outlook. He was an inspiration and a wonderful example of what a good man should be. Rest in Peace, Paul and say hello to our friend Joe Lyons there in heaven. God Bless

Jane and Family - My most sincere condolences on this huge loss. I like to think that Paul was a mentor of sorts for me whom I can credit with having had some influence on my life during my adolescence. Little known fact: By my reckoning, Paul was the last Roman Catholic priest who ever heard my confession. Meanwhile, the Paul Lynch who I remember always had a kind word and a ready smile for everyone and was one of the best listeners that I ever knew. RIP Paul.
