Paul Giannaris

I reffed soccer games with Paul on more occasions than I can count over the past 10 years. He was always supportive, quick to smile, and just by talking to him you could tell he loved his family more than anything. I will never forget when he said he may be late for a game we were working because his son had a game earlier. I told him to take his time and enjoy the game. Your kids are most important. Rest in peace my friend. We all miss you.

I did not know Paul very well, but we worked for the same state agency in the same building. He always had a ready smile and a kind word to say. I will miss that. We should all be more like Paul in that regard. I wish peace and comfort to Paul's family.

I always admired Paul's dedication and love for his family. He was so proud of his wife and children, as he often bragged of his two well-mannered sons. They should be so proud of their father. He was a great man with a big heart. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace my friend.

Such a kind , soft spoken, gentle soul. Sometimes life just does not make sense . Paul was truly genuine. Rest in Peace my friend.

I met Paul back in the late 80's when we would play pickup soccer at Lowther Field. I've known him ever since and he was the most kind friendly person. I will miss seeing him. Thoughts and prayers to his family. RIP Paul.

Paul was a fellow soccer parent who was always kind, friendly and truly loved his family and the sport. We will miss seeing him at our games.
May God Bless his family. Rest In Peace, Paul!

Shared the pitch as referees with Paul many times. He was a very kind and caring soul. I will miss him greatly.
