Our neighborhood will never be the same. Who'll tell the jokes and make everyone laugh? Paul was the greatest. I loved his laugh!! So glad Betsy and I were able to visit him at Keystone last week.

My Dad, Arthur LaPalme, was very proud of Paul. I remember as a child visiting his family with my parents Val and Arthur. I used to brag about the fact that my "cousin" was a famous baseball player and I often wished I could have seen him play during his career. Blessings to your family and loved ones.

Dear Bettye and family,

As a member of the LaPalme family, I extend my most heartfelt condolences at this time of your loss. I know he will be missed. He will always be remembered as a great man, a great golfer and baseball pitcher. My Dad, Arthur, my Uncle Armand, my cousin Frank Cote, and I always enjoyed reminiscing about cousin Paul's exploits on the field and course.

The Nashoba Restaurant and Bob Rakip would like to apologize to the family and friends of Paul LaPalme for reffering to him as Dick. I am deeply humiliated by this unforgivable mistake. I am so so sorry. With deepest sympathy and regret, I apologize for this mental error.
Sincerely and with much sorrow, Bob Rakip.
