Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathies for the Gavora family. It was a great pleasure knowing and working for Paul Gavora.

I only know Paul through Jonah Goldberg's writing and podcasting. And yet I still feel the loss of this great man. May we all endeavour to live our lives up the standards set by Paul. May the God of all comfort be near the family in this time of mourning.

I'm impressed with him, he's just like my dad. Practical and giving. Feed my sheep. I'm grateful for the link provided by his Son in law, to read about him.

Mr. Gavora was an important part of my growing up and a good friend to my father, Bob Coghill Sr. It was a pleasure to have known him and received his wisdom. All are in my prayers tonight.

God bless Paul and his family. His is a great American story in which I hear my grandfather's story, an Italian immigrant, who came here in a boat at age 20.

My Deepest condolences to the entire Gavora family.I grew up with Market Basket in Fairbanks (1960's-70's) and always admired Paul for his Community spirit and support of many charitable causes. He will be missed.

so sorry for you loss. Keeping you in my prayers.
