Paul Francis Lombardi

I have known Paul since he married my dear friend Mary Lynn. Watching their lives unfold together has been a big part of my life. From welcoming me with open arms (literally Paul was the best hugger in the world!) on my many stops at their home, to being a role model on how to raise my daughter, to being a rock for Mary Lynn and his daughters, all his pride and joy. He was the all these notes have said and more. I will forever picture him in his easy chair, newspaper in his hands, glasses...

Mary Lynn, Julie , and dear sweet lilli, Kevin told me yesterday that Paul had passed away. I want you to know we are all thinking of you during this difficult time. We have very fond memories of all of you. Paul was always so kind and generous and yes the very much the gentleman. We miss you all and wish you peace and fond memories. Im so glad he got to meet lilli's new daughter Ava as I know how much he loved his girls. I'm leaving today for Ohio or I would love to be there on...

I first met Paul in 1972 at Arthur Andersen & Co. when I arrived in Atlanta from the Chicago metro area. After leaving Atlanta in 1984, our paths crossed only rarely, usually at a game in South Bend. So, reading the other comments here brings back many fond memories with him and Mary Lynn during those ten plus years. Paul is perfectly described by others which I can only second. He was a "good man". His laugh was contagious and genuine - I can still hear it!

We shared good times...

On behalf of the Board of Governors and staff at Beta Gamma Sigma, please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss. Chris Carosella, CEO

I am deeply saddened by the news of Paul's passing. I considered him a personal friend even though it was many years ago that we worked together at Sands & Company in Atlanta. He was a special person with exceptional abilities which was proven in all his endeavors. Janice and I send our sympathy and prayers out to Mary Lynn and all his family.

We were so saddened to hear of Paul's untimely death. We lived across the street from the Lombardi family at the time of the catastrophe that took Janet, David, and Lisa. The children played with my little brother and were classmates. Our hearts were broken as were all who knew this wonderful family. Paul's faith is the only thing that kept him moving forward. We are happy to know that he found love again. He will be missed by so many. Condolences from the Fleagle family.

I had the privilege of working with Paul at Sands & Company. He brought a special level of professionalis that helped us grow and prosper in the southeast. Paul was a gentleman and respected by everyone he dealt with in our business.

I was Paul's Executive Assistant for over 4 years at OI. He was truly an amazing man. His honesty, integrity and love for his family, friends and employees are beyond anything I've ever seen. I'm blessed to have witnessed such compassion for others. As Albert Einstein said, The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive and Paul was a man who certainly gave a lot. Rest in heavenly peace, Paul.

To the family of Mr. Paul Lombardi, I was truly saddened to hear of the transition of your loved one. I remember when he would call or come into the office at Williams Benator & Libby. I am the front desk receptionist that would greet him. He was such a gentle soul and I will always remember his soft, soothing voice. Though he will be missed, may the family find comfort in knowing that he is now resting peacefully in the arms of our Lord.
