Paul A. Addonizio

I just new him from his sitting area out on the Lynnway. I was amazed at how many hours he was out there. And in the worst cold weather or the rain! I wondered if he was collecting for himself or for an ill family member. He was looking more frail over the last few mos. He was always very grateful for support. Busy intersection, so we did not have a lot of time to talk.... I always hoped some day I could get to know his back story....I am sure he was a great guy...RIP, Paul.

I ve known Paul for a few yrs. Saw him 4 to 5 xs a wk. Became. Friends. Day in an out he was always there. I'd bring coffee a fresh. Marker for his sign an a bad of goodies. One x he sd. This is better than $. I worried about that busy. spot. But he was sure footed an often walked across the st. When McDonald's was open or the gas station. I asked if he was homeless. He said no. As yrs went by. I'd see pizza boxes an waters an bags. People came to give as so many grew to aquaint ab become...

He was a great guy gonna miss him sitting there I always seen him everyday on my way to work nice guy didn't bother anyone. RIP

He was a great guy going to miss him on the corner

So sorry to hear about Paul and Al's passing. We had fun together when we were kids in South Medford and when I went to High School and he was at the Voke, he told other kids "don't mess with my little cousin or you will have to deal with me". Rest in peace.
