Still remembering my best friend who at 15 introduced himself to me, asked me if I would be going to Jesuit this year, and upon hearing a yes, said "I'll see you there." That was the beginning of a deep friendship which would last from 1967 to the day of his passing. Gone but not forgotten.

Paul's farewell service was perfect --- very well done, very tastefully carried out. Loads of thanks to the Gillin family for my inclusion, the privilege of being a pall bearer for my lifelong friend. Gone but never forgotten. RM

The first I ever saw of Paul was at Valencia during the summer of 1967 when he introduced himself to me and told me he would see me at Jesuit High School this fall. Since then, we have been close friends -- an uninterrupted friendship of 55 years. He was one of my very best friends and probably the longest standing friend I have had all these years. We were two peas in a pod. Very sorry to hear of his passing.

I wanted to add that it's ironic that Paul's middle name was Terrell as I live in Terrell, TX. God bless y'all!

I'm very sorry to hear about Paul's passing. I haven't seen him in over 50 years. We attended Holy Name of Jesus school. He was a faithful son and a caring brother to his brothers and sisters. He was a good friend to all who knew him. I can remember walking home from school to visit his family and there was so much love within their home. Paul, you will always be remembered in the hearts of so many people that you touched with your love and kindness. My prayers are with the Gillin family.
