I am soo sorry to say I just heard of Pauls passing. We met a few times with him as Allstate customers - mostly chatted on the phone - He was an amazing person. Always had time to talk to you. I mean talk - not small talk. He really offered great advice and direction. I spoke with him just before he left Allstate and he told me about his new place and we were so happy for him. They don't make them like Paul anymore. God Bless his family.

What a shock to just today learn of Paul's passing! Fresh out of the Army, in 1984 I met Paul while he was a young agent working out of the Sears store in Camp Hill. I found his sense of humor and willingness to do whatever was necessary to put together affordable policies that met my (and later my family's needs) needs to be an important asset that led to his being my agent to the present day. I will definitely miss talking to Paul and listening to his incredibly witty stories that always resulted in laughter. Paul will be missed by so many. My condolences to Paul's family.

Last year my husband became very ill and new to the bills I messed up my insurance I called and explained the situation to Mr. Paul, he told me that my husband had been a customer of his for about 30 yrs. and that he would take care of it, not to worry. And he did. When I stopped by the office in May and told him, my husband did indeed die, he was stunned and told me had he known, he would have attended the service.

I thank him for all the help he gave me. Thank you Mr. Paul.

Heaven received another angel. Deepest sympathies to all whose life he touched. I met Paul 28 years ago while he was working at Sears as an Allstate agent. Such a handsome young man, I was there with my father getting insurance, I had just gotten my license. He turned out to be a life-long friend. Paul was always there for advice, a shoulder, a laugh or a smile. Truly an incredible person with a tremendous heart…he will be sadly missed by many.

Paul was one of the most unselfish people I have ever known. He was always willing to help and encourage anybody who was sick down on there luck or in a bad situation. He always believed in giving someone a second chance. He loved to make people smile! He was a great coach and friend to me. He will be missed by all who new him family and friend alike. My life is better for having had Paul as a friend. Its sad you don't know what you have til there gone... Bob Bucher

My deep regret for your loss to the Mattus Family, Paul has been a long time friend to my family, the Austin O'Brien's, for over 20 years. Paul came through for me and was unable to secure employment and despared that I'd never be able to find a job again. Through the experience I gained in the position he obtained for me, I am now able to many other venues. Aside from being my Agent, he has always been a true, warm and trusted friend. He will be missed. My e-mail is [email protected], please let me know when the Harrisburg Memorial Service is. I and several family members wish to attend. Maureen O'Brien Daley
