Paul E. Fry Sr.

By a quirk of fate, I ended up Paul`s "aunt" even though he was 8 years my senior. As a child, I would would accompany his Grandma & Grandpa Miller to Bridgeport to visit. Those are some of the best memories of my childhood. We last saw him when he, Barb & Dennis attended a family reunion at our house some years ago.
Reading over these expressions of sympathy, you get a vivid impression of what an exceptional human being he really was.
We remember Paulie with great affection, & it...

Until I finished 4th grade in Marysville I lived with my mother & grand parents. Uncle Paul, Aunt Elva, & Paul would visit us often. My next contact was in 1948 when my mother & I visited the Fry's in Bridgeport. After my mother died I made a couple of trips to visit Aunt Elva in Florida. I saw Paul a time or 2 then. I stopped by the Fry home in Easton a couple of times after that. Although I didn't see Paul & the rest of the Fry's very often, I did enjoy the times when I...

Dennis, My heartfelt sorrow goes out to you and your family. And to Barbara, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and best friend of so many wonderful years.
I am happy I had the opportunity to share a few thoughts a few weeks ago in a letter sent to Paul. While distance between us makes it impossible to visit in person, please know how much I wished I was closer during these past few years.
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers during this very sad time.

My heartfelt condolences to the family on Paul's passing. I always enjoyed visiting with Paul when I was in Ct. He will be remembered in my prayers.

Dear Barbara and Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Paul's passing. For so many years, I had wanted to stop in the studio and say hello. I knew you both when you were first married and lived in my aunt's home on Park Ave. I was only about 5yrs old when I would come upstairs and visit with you and Paul. I have very fond memories of you both. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dennis,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Everyone here at Creative Music who knew Paul loved him.

Thank you for sharing the news of Paul's passing. He was a good man who
was a true gentleman. Even though I was a small part of his life he
always made me, and everyone, feel like you were a very important part
of his life.

I am sorry for your loss and will miss your father.

God Bless your family.

Dennis:
It is hard to lose a parent and it doesn't matter what anyone tells you, it still hurts. I wish there was something I could do to be of help. I am horrible at these things but I am here if you need to talk. Your Dad was always very kind and friendly to me. I sure will miss him. I am sending you great big hugs to you and your family.... Talk to you soon.

Dennis and Family,

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I received your notice that Paul had received the Yamaha Founders Award, and was planning to send him a congratulatory email.

Dennis, I spoke with you at NAMM about my experience with your father and brother. At Yamaha's request, I worked with your company for a Fairfield College Piano Sale several years ago. I got to know your Dad pretty well over that long weekend, and spoke with him several times over the years. He was an...
