Not sure what to say?

We learned of Paul's passing and wanted to extend our sincere condolences to his wife and family. Mac served as an FJV support for our Jesuit Volunteer Corps Worcester house in 1989. He took us to lunches, drove us to appointments, played stickball with us, loaned us bicycles and helped us with the only speeding ticket we ever received in Worcester. He was an important part of our time in JVC -- inspiring us with his dedication to the marginalized and willingness to share his time with...

My condolences to the McManus family. I never had the chance to meet Paul but it sounds like he was a kind and compassionate man. My thoughts are with your family.

I only met Mr. Mcmanus once and it was as defendant in a criminal case being heard pretrial. I had seen a few other judges since that time, but found him to standout. He came across as someone who was fair and was willing to listen. I had wondered why I hadn't seen him in some time as I was hoping he would preside over additional aspects of my case. My sincere condolences to his family. Seemed like a genuine individual.

Paul McManus just sparkled with wit, delighting in humor, creative and rigorous at the same time in ideas. Everyone would be happy just to bump into Paul and no one could be better to have on your team.
My condolences to his family for the loss of such a wonderful man.

My deepest condolences to Liz and family on this enormous loss. What an amazing man and humanitarian. I am certain his compassion went mountains beyond his beloved canadian bijon. He has left his mark on the world, and now a huge hole. May his memory be a blessing.

fondly,

Elizabeth, Bobby, and Jack,

My parents and I (Bob, Anne, and Victoria Wills) are so very sorry and heartbroken to hear of Paul's passing. We are praying for all of you and hoping peace and love envelops you all.

Paul was literally one of the nicest men we've ever met. It was a true pleasure getting to know all of you when we were neighbors in Wellesley. We still talk about memories of playing baseball with the boys in the backyard. Paul always took the time to talk and...
