We just found out about Paule´s passing. Sincere condolences to his family. We were good friends of Paul and Judy at Albright College. We even went to his parents home to be treated to authentic Italian dinners. We used to trade cars with Paul sometimes. He had that fancy Jaguar XKE and Mike just had a big old Chrysler. Rest in peace, Paulie.

Paul was truly a great friend. I grew up with Paul in Bangor I offer sincere condolences to his family. He was very giving and always would help a friend in need. I was his best man at his wedding to Judy in a weekend I could never forget. The countless stories about him would be a great book. There are to many to mention. Paul was an outstanding athlete in several sports but first and foremost a great friend. He will be missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace with all his...

Dr. Paul saved our granddaughters life. Born with CP and a twin, he would not leave her side for hours, watching over her. She´s now 9. Dr. Paul loved his patients and we are going to miss him!

I'm saddened by the news of Dr. DeFranco's passing, he and played intramural basketball together and he was as fiercely competitive as anyone. He was the calm in the storm and I was their first resident in the neonatal unit. I wouldn't have made it without him. Prayers and condolences for the family. Christopher Cox,MD, MBA
