Paul H. Early

Photo taken by Halsey... A fun day... with a upside down Paul held by Me and a unknown friend! Our class at Valentine school Chicopee, Ma. So much fun we had on its small, chain linked enclosed playground. I can remember playing a version of kids Spin the Bottle! The school was adjacent to a cemetery. So many fond memories!

Just found out today me and Paul new each other since going to the little red school house early 60s. So many words come to mind. Great guy great person . Enormous humor and heart. If we are given another life I pray to have Paul in it with me.

Darlene and the rest of the Early family I was so sad to hear about Paul's passing. I remember all of you so well but then I only lived a block away. We had a lot of fun times during those young years and I'll always carry them with me through the rest of my life. Michael Leveille such a wonderful friend keeping this online. I always remember you and Paul as inseparable friends and will never forget the woods at the end of Bernard Street that we (my brother and I) cut through to get over...

Paul came to mind today as he has many times over the past 50 years. Though I haven't seen Paul since either sixth grade at Valentine, or 7th at Fairview Memorial, I've thought of him often. Ive been in Florida since 1973, but still call Chicopee home, and visit occasionally. This afternoon something had me reminiscing and I decided to type in Pauls name on line. Was quite a shock to learn of Pauls passing. Like so many of you who's names appear in the guest book, and who I haven't seen since...
