Paul L. Lavin

Dear Anna Mae, Barbara, Janet, Chris, Tina, Ken and Zachary,

What a HUGE loss of a HUGE man! We will all miss him so much. His gentle spirit and kind words and easy smile is a wonderful package to a child - and I will forever treasure the memories of him while I grew up.
I often wish I could have known his parents - what wonderful people of God they must have been to have raised such humble, gentle, and God-fearing men like him and my Papa. It is a lost art and lifestyle...

Uncle Paul was my beloved uncle for most of my life, and I have always loved him for his sweetness and kindness. I'll never forget you, Paul. And I love you, too, AnnaMae, Janet and Barb.
All my love,
Anne

I will always carry the mental picture of Paul with me, of him at various times in my life striding into Papa's house over on Pine St. with his tool box, ready to fix one thing or another.I thought of him as a giant of a man who knew a little bit about everything. He's gone on to his reward now, and left us all a little poorer for the loss.

Paul was a wonderful man who will be remembered fondly. He had such a great spirit about him, he was funny, charming and seemed to always know how to make me laugh. He will be greatly missed, our thoughst and prayers are with you all. I love you Ann Mae!
