Not sure what to say?

I miss you everyday Daddy

My Dearest Paul,

It's hard to believe it's been a year since you left. Made me realize first hand how uncertain
life is and the need to appreciate those around us and each day God gives us.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again in heaven.

I love you now and always, Denise

I just heard today of Paul's passing. I am sorry for your loss. He was such a huge influence to me and my children during our time at Stop and Shop. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

I'm just finding out about this in May 2019. Mr. Kertenis hired me as a 16 year old at the East Longmeadow Stop And Shop in December 2001. I remember it like it was yesterday. He was a great store manager to work for. He always seemed to care how all his employees were doing and was easy to talk to. It was easy to work hard for him because he showed appreciation for it. He was nice enough to even write a letter of recommendation for me for a college scholarship I had applied for from...

Denise and family, I just learned of Paul's passing and am so saddened by your loss. I worked with Paul in the 70's and 80's at Stop & Shop. One of my fondest memories was loading cases of groceries into his little Bronco in the back of the old Holyoke store and having Paul realize that they were not all going to fit into the car. The laughter was precious!

I just saw Paul at Christmas time and his laughter was still as precious as he talked about his retirement and being a Grampa....

Paul was a great guy, and one of the best managers I ever worked for, always put his people first, even after he retired when he was in the store always had time to spend a few minutes talking about his passions, Rest easy my friend

Paul will be sadly missed by friends and co-workers. I worked with Paul for over 30 years. Paul was a gentleman, hard working, loving father and husband. He was dedicated to his family and loyal to stop and shop. Heartfelt sympathies to his family.

He was a sweet, kind, generous and wonderful uncle that will be missed sorely.Sending our deepest sympathies and prayers to Aunt Denise and family. Joe, Sarah, Connor and Logan
