My father was Mario Romano who knew Paul from Fort Trumbull New London. I remember very well the times I spent at Paul's home going with his sons to play at Fort Griswold. I also have very fond memories of eating the wonderful food at Fazzini's (?). Paul was a very kind and soft spoken man. I will never forget the times I spent as a child in the company of his warm family.

Mr. And Mrs. T, all the rest of the Tranchida Family,
Deeply saddened by your loss. I know your dad and grandpa was a great man. He was lucky to live a long, healthy life and see his grandchildren grow up. I did not know about his work in the Depression Era alphabet agencies. I recently taught my 11th grade classes about the PWA and CCC. Pretty cool to associate a face with the time period. It explains why he was such an appreciative, loving, and dedicated man! They don't make them...

Dave, on behalf of the Harris-Warren family, I want to tell you had sad we were to hear about your dad's passing. He truly was so beloved by all who knew him. What wonderful childhood memories Mike and I especially have, and still talk about all the time. I will not be able to make it to the memorial service tomorrow but will fly in Sunday night and hope to see not only your mom, but you and Pam as well. Take care Dave and please know that your dad will remain in our hearts always.
