Paul Edward Bleier

Like so many others I was shocked when I heard of Paul's passing. My family lived directly across the street from the Bleier's and I have know them since 1956. They always were such a kind and considerate family and Paul was no exception. I knew Paul since the time he was born and although there was quite a span between our ages I remember more than one basketball game where I played with Paul at his house. Paul was truly a good person, through and through, smiling and friendly with never a...

Paul was a considered a member of our family. He was always a joy to be around and was very considerate of others. He wanted to make sure that all were having a good time when we were together. We know that he and Bob are together now and will be making up for a lot of lost time. We will miss you lots, Paul.

I happened to be reading the paper, turned the page and saw Pauls' picture. I could not believe it.

We had great times at St. Thomas and Gerard. Paul was a good friend for a long time. I'm sorry we drifted apart and I'm sorry for the loss of a great guy too soon.

Paulie, Paulie - Today I get to lay you to rest. We will miss you terribly. I'm honored to be counted among your many, many friends and I thank you for the memories.

Paul will be deeply missed by his friends. I wish there were more people with Paul's kind hearted attitude and his giving nature in this world.

Patty, Tom, Rod and the rest of the wonderful Bleier family - words can't begin to express my sympathy for the loss of Paul. Paul was a tremendous person - he always had a kind word to say and a smile on his face.

Paul and I were best of friends as we grew up attending St. Thomas. We served as alter boys, played together on the football, basketball, and baseball teams for Coach Schoenarts, and learned many life lessons while at STA. Paul headed on to Gerard while I attended...

I am stunned and saddened by this news.

I can remember so many of the good times that we had growing up at St. Thomas and then reconnecting later on at Gerard (after I was kicked out of Camelback).

Paul was always smiling and joking. A true sports nut and one of the all time "good guys". Rest in peace old buddy. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Paul was a was one of my first childhood friends. He lived about 8 houses away. The first football game I ever played was at Paul's front yard. Actually Paul's older brother and friends allowed us to play....what a privelage it was to little brothers at that time to play in that game with the older kids.

One day when Paul and I were about 5 years old, Paul was walking with me, where they were building the new "Town Homes". Paul suddenly disapeared. I thought that he had...

I have many fond childhood memories of Paul and the Bleier family. Paul always had an infectious cheerfulness about him. Paul and the Bleier family are in my thoughts and prayers.
