Rev. Paul F. Ruzzo

Sadly, I learned of Fr. Paul's death only this weekend at a birthday celebration for my husband. Fr. Paul was serving as an associate pastor at St. Joseph's in Dover when I knew him... I always found him to have a youthful enthusiasm for his faith that was infectious. It is a real loss for the Catholic Christian community of New Hampshire. I will keep Fr. Paul's family and friends in my thoughts and prayers, especially over the coming Christmas celebrations. God bless all.

I miss FP! He came to St. Francis when I was preparing for Confirmation. He invited me and my sister to join the Parish Council when we were teens because he felt that all populations of the parish should be represented. I served on the Steering Committee when it came time to move St. Francis, went to many bible studies in his Rectory, and ate many meals at Aloha with him too. When my friend asked me to go on a Cursillo he was there to laugh his "evil" laugh and encourage me while he...

My sincere sympathy to Father Paul's relatives, Parish family and his Fire and Police family at this time. We have been friends for many years and met through the Federation of Fire Chaplains. I am from Boston originally and each summer when back there on vacation I would go up to NH and visit Fr. Paul. We would often talk on the phone and our last conversation was just a few weeks ago. I shall miss going out for Chinese food with him, his laughter and smile. May he rest in peace. Until we...

Fr. Paul's Family,

It is hard to express the sadness I am feeling right now and especially this morning when the lector read the names of the deceased and I heard .... Fr. Paul Ruzzo. Without realizing it, I said aloud, "Oh my God". I couldn't believe what I heard. I was part of the music ministry (folk group) when Fr. Paul was assigned to St. Paul Parish in Franklin. Fr. Paul was there encouraging us every step of the way. And yes I remember the Tuesday night practices when...

Brother Paul will be missed as a true servant for all fire and police and to the Federation of Fire Chaplain.

May he enjoy the heavenly feast and all the saints.

Farther Paul - We will miss you and your warm loving spirit. You were a great man of God, and touched many lives. Thank you for all you've done.
