We are so very saddened to hear of Paul's passing, and want to express our deepest condolences to his wife, Linda and to his parents and brother. As he was a great friend to both my husband, Adrian, and I. I first met Paul and his wonderful parents the summer during freshman orientation for Wheeling Jesuit College. When classes began in the Fall, we became close friends and would often laugh, when we realized that we had sat across from one another a few months prior as nervous freshman. I remember Paul as a "star" Rugby player...but more importantly TO ME, Paul was a wonderful, kind-hearted, true friend that was so much fun to be around. He will be missed deeply but will live in our Hearts and Memmories Forever. Our prayers are with you.

I am shocked and sorry to hear about Paul's passing away. He was a friend to both of my sons, Paul and Mark, who knew him at Wheeliing Jesuit College. He seemed like a really descent human being and a good guy to be around. My wife and I have the deepest sympathy for Paul, his parents and his family. My God bless you and be with you during this very difficult time.

My prayers and sympathy go out to his wife and family in this truly difficult time. Paul was always a hard working hard playing person who swung back at every ball life threw at him. May he be an example to us all, he will be sadly missed.

To Linda, Paul's family and Linda's family, My deepest sympathy is yours. I am sorry we never had the opportunity to pray together at the hospital that morning. Rest assured that Paul will always be a part of my devotions. I had the real pleasure of knowing Paul first on the pitch and then as we aged into manhood. He was special and he will be remembered fondly.

I met Paul at Wheeling Jesuit University in his freshman year and had the privilege of playing rugby with him as well as being his friend. When you are next to someone in a rugby match running down the field it is common to say “with you” to let the person next to you know that you are there if you need help or support. I heard the words “with you” from Paul many times on and off the rugby pitch. Paul was the kind of person that once you gained his friendship was always “with you.” Paul was a good friend and my wife and I wish to send our deepest condolences to his wife, family and friends. As we look back on the found memories that we have of Paul we know that he will always be “with us.”

I met Paul while playing rugby at Fairfield Prep. He was a year older than me and had been playing for a few years before I started playing. Being completely new to the game I really looked up to Paul because of his friendliness, his rugby talent and his natural ability to lead the team. I am very sad to hear of Paul's plassing. I would like to convey my deepest sympathies to his family.

Paul and I became friends my Freshman year at Wheeling Jesuit. He truly loved life and lived it to the fullest. He always had a big heart and would do anything for a friend. Everyone at WJ recognized what a great rugby player he was, but Paul was too modest to take credit for our team's success. Paul will truly be missed and my deepest sympathies go out to his wife, family, and friends.

I wish there were words that could console or at the very least lessen the pain Pauls family feels right now. All I can say is I am so sorry. I lost my brother unexpectedly at the age of 32. It has been almost three years now and as the pain has not gone it has become a peaceful reminder of the love I have for him and the wonderful times I was fortunate enough to share with him. The same will hold true for Paul.

Paul was by far the best rugger I ever played with. Paul was the centerpiece to a small college rugby offense that went undefeated for 2 seasons. Often against bigger, stronger and more physical teams. Paul helped to create for me memories that will last a lifetime. I got to know Paul but not as well as I would have liked. My fondness for Paul is centered around rugby but definitely went beyond the field. You could see in him a strength and determination that would carry him far in life. My family sends it's deepest condolences to his family and friends.

God Bless

Paul was one of the best people I have Known. His Love of life showed each and everyday I new him. As my Flyhalf At WJU he was one of the best Rugby players I have ever known. He Loved the game as he loved his friends and it showed on his face each time he sprinted down the field with the ball. He will be greatly be missed.

Paul and I first became friends as members of the Wheeling Jesuit Rugby team, but I truly got to know him when we became roommates for a year. I have so many fond memories and stories to be shared in a different forum, but without doubt he will hold always a special place in my heart. My deepest condolences go out to his wife, family, and friends. He will be missed.

Paul and I met at Wheeling Jesuit College. We became good friends and roommates for a year on the "Hill". We played Rugby together and I knew we could always rely on him to make the big play; there was nothing better then watching him sprint away from everyone. I have many fond memories of Paul. He was a great person and will truly be missed.

I met Paul in the Fall of 1987 when I was practically his neighbor living in the Jogues Residence Hall of Fairfield University, which was adjacent to the Hayes home. I visited the family often and admired Paul very much. He had quiet strength and was a perfect gentleman. I feel his loss keenly but I am confident that he has gone home to God. May he rest in peace.
