Paul Louis Arruda

I was so shocked and sad to see Paul has passed away. We were first loves and high school sweet hearts. We had quite a bond ...helped each other while we learned how crazy life could actually be . He always had my back and was thereto make me laugh when the going got rough . Fly high with the angels "pookis pie" I´ll see you on the other side my dear friend .

I had no idea you (Paul) died, strange enough, I was just thinking of all of the people who used to work at BARC. I hope you're at peace now, so many things has changed over the years, it's not even funny. I think, we as humans shouldn't let things go through our hands, meaning... if you're thinking about a friend currently, call them now, because you don't know if it will be the last time you speak with them.

Paul, where do I even start? We met in 1990 and became instant friends working at Pratt and Whitney. We remained friends through thick and thin, and you became The Godfather to my son Andrew. He worshipped you, as did I. You gave him everything you had, as well as your son Sam. You considered both of them your sons, and you were so very proud of them both. We love you so very much and will miss you until we meet again. Love to you Paul.

My son, Jimmy DiMeo , loved to tell me stories about going to different businesses for BARC. He loved the comic books Paul gave him and that special attention. Obviously a wonderful and caring person. So sorry for your loss

So sorry for your families loss. Thoughts and prayers for your family at this time.

I was just sending Paul another text, asking him where did you go? Hopefully, drinking Rum Runners at an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica. I felt compelled to find his family to get his status and my google search brought me here :-( I am so sorry to hear about Paul and his mother's passing. I saw him a week or so ago. He was in good spirits. I've known Paul for almost two years now. God put Paul in my life at a time I really needed a friend. A compassionate, caring and thoughtful person...
