Dear Janet.
I hope time has brought you some degree of comfort.
I miss Paul. In the brief time that I got to know him, in my such difficult circumstances, I felt so much compassion and love from him.
I knew he was a gift.
He was kind, non judgmental and supportive to me and others.
I never forget his humor and smile.
I wish you and your family much peace and to Paul go my prayers.
God bless you and keep you my friend.
Love.
Guido.

Paul was a unique individual, during our radiation treatments we became good friends along with Guido and Norman
We were the groups funny ones. Laughing every day we met for that dreaded treatment. It helped us forget.
Paul was one we all tried to entertain. He would come in with the weight of the world on his shoulders and in seconds we were all crying with laughter and had the entire floor in tears with laughter.
Paul loved life and in his passing had made all of us reflect
Paul will be sorely missed , now in heaven he will finally be at rest
God Bless you my friend

Paul may you rest in peace my friend. I will surely miss you during the winter this year. Whenever you would come visit "My Tyme" you always made sure to stop in the office to see me & just talk for a few. You were such a great guy with one heck of a witty soul & I know you are going to be missed by so many. My prayers go out to your loving wife Janet,family & friends R.I.P Paul
