I am so sorry for your loss. Paul and I were at Salem State together as athletic training students; he was a year behind me. He was a really nice guy and I was shocked at his sudden passing. My heart goes out to everyone in Paul's family.

To the family and friends of Paul, I am so sorry for your loss. Trainer Paul will be missed and was loved by everyone around him at Worcester Academy. He was a great mentor and friend through the time I knew him in high school and working with him at WA. He will be missed dearly throughout the entire community.

When I had a shoulder injury in high school, I visited the trainer's room every day before practice, partially for shoulder-tape, but, more importantly, to spend time in the supportive environment that Paul worked to cultivate. Despite the fact that we all ended up in the trainer's room for various injuries, Paul's contagious positivity and endless encouragement made it such a great place to be that people would often stop by just to say hi and hang out for a quick minute before running to practice. I was often frustrated when I couldn't swim as hard as I would have liked due to injuries and sickness, but Paul's encouragement helped me to realize I could go back and keep trying whenever I would feel defeated coming back to the trainer's room for a nebulizer or new shoulder-tape. Paul brought so much to Worcester Academy's athletics program, as well as to the individual lives of student-athletes at WA. He will be dearly missed.

Leslie,

I am so heartbroken to learn about Paul. I pray God gives you and your family all the strength you need to get through this painful time.

Paul is a beautiful man that I got to know during our years of working together. I know he loved you Leslie and was so great full for all you did for him.

My thoughts are with Bob, Tommy, Jennifer, Jason and all the family and friends that cared and loved you all.

God was calling you home. He needed
another angel to help pour out the rain.

Tears have fallen, hearts where shattered,
but it was time for you to fly home.

Your loved ones came to say their last goodbyes,
to tell you they loved you, and that you will be forever missed.

As your heartbeat stopped, and your eyes slowly closed,
God took another angel home.
