Marcia, I am glad that we were able to see you and your dad at Matt Kelly´s wedding. I´m so sorry to hear of your fathers sudden passing. We shared quite a few fourths with the Kelly´s together. I know how much uncle Paul and Uncle Joe will miss their lifelong friend. A very special bond. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. My best to your sweet mom. Lisa (Paul and Jeans niece)

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my dear friend, Paul. I had the pleasure of working with Paul and supporting the M.A.S.S. office for 4 years. Paul always made everyone feel so appreciated and imortant. I will always cherish his friendship and fun memories at the institute on the cape every summer. He did so much for his community and educators. My condolences to his friends and family - he truly was such a kind man and will be so deeply missed.

Paul was more than a friend and colleague. He was a cheerleader and motivator for whoever crossed his path. His loyalty inspired loyalty in others. Paul was never one to just do a job. Everything he did he did with enthusiasm and love. I was privileged to work with him as a member of the Woburn School Committee. Paul was always a leader, but he could have fun at the same time. He had a knack for making others feel important to him. He was an important part of my life and I thank him for being...

My deepest sympathy. Paul worked tirelessly with Ann Luchini (President of the teachers' union) for open communication between teachers and administrators. They were both successful ..What a great legacy he leaves..

We send our love and deepest sympathy to Janet and the Andrews family. Paul gave so much to Woburn and to the education of the children from Woburn. We are sure he will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. God Bless .

Paul was an inspirational educator and leader who connected colleagues with eachother and with significant programs and services. His energy and enthusiasm was contagious and fueled many constructive outcomes bennefiting schools, hospitals, and other public institutions. He will be missed by all who worked with him and enjoyed his personal touch.

Paul was a consummate professional and advocate for children and public education in Massachusetts. He was a frequent visitor on Beacon Hill where he met with our legislators and helped guide them through passage of workable legislation. Our professional associations are indebted to his tireless service.

Paul will be dearly missed by many. Besides being married to my cousin Janet, he was also my boss in the Woburn Public Schools. I had the utmost respect for him as Superintendent as did my colleagues. First and foremost he was an educator and that showed, as did his sense of humor. I'll miss you, Paul.

I offer my thoughts to Janet and her family on the passing of Paul; a wonderful man who gave so much of himself to the community of Woburn. Thank you, Paul, your legacy will be remembered by all who admired your dedication to family, friends and colleagues. Rest in peace, your work on this Earth has come to completion. Well done!
