Not sure what to say?

Uncle Paul was a very special uncle. I really enjoyed getting to know him over the years. I think the best time we had together (besides my wedding of course!) was his 80th birthday party in Chicago. Family really means a lot and I'm going to miss my Uncle Paul.

Uncle Paul was our uncle from Chicago. Our mother's (Louise) Christmas was not complete until her brothers had phoned their greetings. Photos of Uncle Paul were displayed in his mother's (grandmom's) sunroom, especially the one of him in costume as George Washington for a school play.

Uncle Paul, my mother (Louise's big brother) was the uncle that lived in Chicago. My mother's Christmas wasn't complete until her brothers phoned their greetings. We heard our mom's stories about how smart Uncle Paul was and how much he loved to ride horses. His childhood photos were on display in the sunroom of his mother (grandmom's) house, especially the one of him in costume as George Washington for a school play.

I often came into contact with Paul, both in the office and occasionally on the commuter train. I appreciated his upbeat attitude and his sense of humor.

Paul was one of my first Associate Managers in Prudential. I was in the Debit Service Div. of EOD I also worked for Pru. for almost 40 years. I was sad in hearing of his passing. Another sad note was that James Degenhart, who also was a good friend of Paul's passed away on Oct. 20, 2003.

Having worked with Paul at Prudential over many years, I am sorry to hear of his passing. He was a fine man.

With deepest sympathy and fond memories.

I was saddened to read of Paul's passing. Every time I drive by the house on Belmont I can imagine Ruth and Paul busy building, quilting and being good neighbors! God Bless!
