Paul was a great Rotarian! Today is my weekly luncheon meeting at the Rotary club of the Lower Main Line in Bala-Cynwyd, PA. Paul was a powerful leader in our Rotary District 7450 in southeastern Pennsylvania. Rotarian's do great things! The world needs more Rotarians.

I was thinking about you Paul, just 3 minutes before I received the reminder email from Legacy. You are still alive in my life even since you left the physical realm 9 years ago. I love that you show up in my dreams from time to time. I know you are sending love to all of us from your higher dimensional place of Peace, Love and Freedom. The guidance, the love, the leadership and the service that you provided while you were here has lasting, lifelong impact. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude and love. I look forward to your next visit in my dreams!

I will share a happy `time´ as I remember Paul(ie) today:
Back in the days, Paulie and I would dig in the dirt for worms or we´d dig to get to China - the worms ALWAYS came first soooooo I´d get a wiggly worm shoved at my face, then we would run after each other for a while ....
Yeah ... simple Spruce St life was all we knew and that was fine ...
I miss seeing Paul; he and I often crossed paths over the years and we´d do a quick `catch up´. Paul like to chit-chat about `stuff´ - he and I would `solve´ ALL the world´s problems during our conversations .... yeah, I miss seeing Paulie!

Paul, it's been a year minus 2 days since you crossed into the non-physical realm and I miss you still so much! Please continue to keep in touch through my dreams and meditations. Looking at your photo fills my heart with wonderful feelings of love and life. Here is a picture from our day together at the Kimberton CSA. We picked raspberries together. You filled your container faster that I did! I will always cherish our times together. I am so grateful that I have Pat here to play with! Love you!!

To the family and friends of Paul,
My condolences to you, I just learned that Paul had passed. Paul and I used to run during lunch times when we worked together, and I saw Paul's transformation into focus on exercise, nutrition, and well-being. I spoke with Paul in the fall, it was a different Paul, a very spiritual side of Paul, and at the time I had no awareness that he had any concerns of his own health, the conversation in hind sight makes a lot of sense, and suggests to me that his faith was very strong, and his concern for others in his life as well. Paul changed the world as he did the lives of all who knew him.

Pat--My condolences to you and the whole family. I never knew Paul well, but it was clear that he was loving . . . to those he knew well and to those he knew not at all. He was also a deeply caring and committed man. I hadn't seen him in easily a decade, but ran into him a few months ago at a seminar. The chance encounter put a big smile on my face; I was so glad to get a chance to say hello. And now so saddened to say goodbye. Strength and love to you Pat.

Uncle Paul,
“Goodbye may seem forever,
Farewell is like the end,
But in my heart is a memory,
And there you'll always be.”
Love, Ally
We are all saddened that you are no longer with us in his world that you served so well. The many tributes shared here surely represent a small fraction of those you have reached and influenced in so many ways. We were blessed when Pat brought you into our family and know that the memories that
you have made together in this all too brief time will bring her joy and comfort in the future.
We are glad to have known you and have you in our lives and been such a wonderful husband to Pat.
God Bless You, Paul.

Dear Pat, May God be with you as all your friends are to comfort you in this sad time. You and Paul were always gracious and ready to assist. I remember 1995 and finishing the Philadelphia Marathon and Paul finishing just a head of me and him standing there and giving me a hug. I can see it as if it was only yesterday. May God Bless you and help you understand why? John Burdey

Dear Pat and family,
Paul radiated his love for life and for all of us who were lucky enough to journey through life with him. Doug and I will always remember the joy and energy he brought to the Raul Julia Bike Rides to End Hunger, all 9 of our events. That big smile! The joy that he exemplified! We are truly blessed to have known him. Pat, know that our prayers are with you and all the family at this very sad time of his passing. Love, Jerilynn & Doug

Dear Pat - Paul was one of a kind as are you. And, the two of you as a couple were always so special. You had such a positive impact on so many lives, individually and together. And, I know he lives on in your heart and you will continue to serve together. I have so many memories - all happy - and, I know your memories are endless, both happy and sad. I still see you in your twin crowns at the District Governor's dinner, when he was Governor. I had the privilege of working with him then. He was so visionary and inspiring within Rotary, his work (your shared work) for World Hunger, the example he set in using herbs and non-invasive healing products as a way of life. His global view of life was ahead of many. He will be remembered and missed by all who knew him. My heart goes out to you in your loss. May God comfort and guide you. Love and Light, Margaret Kelly (Frankford-NE Philadelphia Rotary)

Today I realized how many hearts all over the world are holding you and feeling love for you and expressing that love to others because of you. You inspired so many people, so many people love you and will continue to love you. You will live on forever in this way.
And to sweet sweet Pat... nothing can replace your best friend, the love of your life. And I promise you, because of all the people he touch in such a profound way, if you just stop, sit quietly, breathe in and out slowly, you will feel his love forever....

So sorry to hear of Pauls passing. I haven't seen him in years, but can hear the sound of his voice as if it was yesterday. Very distinct, Paul was responsible for ushering me through my intro night for the Forum in 1984. He made a difference in my life, and I'm so glad I had the chance to know him. Pat may your memories bring comfort and joy, he was a special guy. Nancy Stone
