Paul James Mineo

Donna, I'm so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. The story of your wedding day is something I still enjoy retelling--Paul walking down the side of the hill, the goblets, the sudden downpour, all of it. You are in my thoughts.

Dear Donna,
We were so sorry to hear about Paul's passing. We were so glad to see him at Roger's birthday party - he looked so upbeat that no one could really see the pain he was in. He shared his joy of life with everyone he came in contact with. It was a privledge to know him. We hope that you are getting through this difficult time OK....There's always K1 P2. Our best wishes and love, Bob and Bonnie

Dear Donna,
I am so sorry for your loss. I could not imagine college without Paul. His friendship shaped my life in many ways, he challenged our thoughts, taught us to be true students of life. He introduced us to ideas and foods and the Macintosh, that would now seem everyday. Paul lived what he taught, and that was what made him a great teacher, and even better friend.
My only regret is not keeping in better touch. I am very happy that he found his true love and soul mate. My...

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time.

I met Paul when I started MSU in 1982. I was just 22, and Paul recognized my unformed and struggling soul. He introduced me to Ayn Rand and carbonara sauce and challenged me endlessly on how to live an ethical life. Like all of us who are writing here, I cannot imagine my life without Paul's place in it. He also spoke so passionately and lovingly about Donna, and I am thankful that they found one another. I am equally sorry, though, that the time was so short.

Donna,
Our deepest sympathies to you and your families on the passing of Paul. We will keep you and Paul and your love for one another in our hearts always. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of such a wonderful man and the awesome couple that you became. We always knew that you were where you were meant to be; from the heading to Hartford party, to our night out in Chicago and then being witness to one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies. We will cherish the memories always. Be...

Donna,
Although we only had a brief evening together in January, it will stay forever in my memory and that of my daughter Riley. She was so moved by Paul that she came back to the hotel room and wept. She was touched by Paul. She saw him as a quality person and wanted to be like him; taking a positive perspective, embracing life and being brave enough to face her own challenges. She saw that in you too. Riley has been successful with all that. It's amazing that Paul came into our lives...

Hi Donna, Very sorry for your lost. May your memories of Paul bring you happy thoughts.

My deepest sympathies to you Donna and family - Paul was my Professor at University of Hartford and then UConn for my communication classes. He was a wonderful and dedicated professor who I will not forget. I will always remember him with his large coffee mug that he always brought to class to have his expresso.
