Although we did not move in to 54 Old Colony Way until last December, we thoroughly enjoyed our frequent talks with Paul and will miss him. He seemed to get some comfort from the prayer shawl presented to him.

I worked with Paul at WDRC as a 17 year old Disc Jockey while still attending Hall High in West Harford. (Well, I was supposed to anyway.) Now living on Cape Cod, so sorry to hear of Paul's Passing. He was most kind to me and the other on-air reprobates.

I started working at WDRC in Hartford right out of college as a 23 year old news reporter. I will never forget Paul's kindness and helpfulness, plus some wonderful stories he shared about the history of the station and the many colorful people who'd worked there over the years. Paul was a treasure to have in the broadcasting business and a wonderful human being as well.

Paul was a very wonderful, and funny person. We helped take care of him in Orleans, MA. until a few weeks ago. He will miss him deeply.We at Cape Cod Home Helpers feel blessed for the time we had with such a wonderful man.

If Paul isn't in heaven now, no one is. That was the kind of person he was... simply the best. Paul was kind, gentle, and one of the most remarkable persons we've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He & his beloved Helen are together now. We will miss seeing Paul, and his wonderful smile.
