Dear Feeley family,

Sending sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved Paul. Rich graduated MSH with him and I worked with Paul at Chancellor in the mid 80's and remember many good times there. I commuted with him from Melrose and will never forget him reaching under his seat while driving on the lower deck into Boston (every Monday - Friday)and securing his electric razor and shaving on our way to work......needless to say, I was scared, but also amused. I ran into him over 10 years ago now, but was impressed how involved and overjoyed he was in telling me about his family, he was very proud of you all.

My heart is broken with the news of Paul's passing. We went all through school together and his friendship meant the world to me. He always spoke of his family with love, affection and devotion. Treasure your memories, he will live in your heart forever. I am unable to attend his services, but you will all be in my heart and prayers.
