Paul Vincent Messina

Hey Paul, So sorry to hear about your Dad. He must have been a great guy to raise a person like you. I lost my Dad three years ago so I understand your pain. Know that he is at peace and pain free and his spirit lives on in you and your family.

A kind, gentle and giving friend and colleague from JP Morgan and BNY Mellon days. He loved his family and was such a wonderful person. God rest him.

Our deepest condolences to Phyllis and family. Paul and I started work at Morgan Guaranty (JPM) on the same day. We became close over the years.
I will always remember our first chat on day one. Paul asked me how do I get to work? I said “by Boat”. Paul said to me , “from Ireland”? I said no, Staten Island where Paul later moved to. I am from Ireland, it was quite funny he thought I was commuting from there. We laughed about that conversation many times over the years. I have many great...

I worked with Paul for many years at BONY. I think we got along so well
because he was the opposite of me, willing to let things go, seeing the bright side of everything etc. I never remember a time when Paul didn’t have a smile on his face.

Paul was the most congenial man, that I EVER had the pleasure of meeting. A smile beyond beautiful. His parents Sam & Millie did a fantastic job of raising him to perfection. You were loved, admired, and will be missed so very much. Our hearts are broken but we know that you’re flying high with the Angels. Rest in Eternal Peace, until we are reunited once again. ❤ & Prayers ’s for you, Phyllis and your beautiful family .
