Judy, Laura and Allie,
There are no words that can comfort you at a time like this. Paul, your husband, your dad, was a kind and gentle soul who I remember fondly with his infectious smile matched only by his bright disposition. Judy, Paul was you, I know his arrival in your life some 30 plus years ago gave you so much joy, balance and comfort. Please accept my deepest heartfelt condolences you have been in my thoughts since I read about this very sad turn of events.

To the family of Paul. I was at Crane Beach that day. I did not know at the time that he was from so near to my home. I spoke to the lifeguards and can assure you they were profoundly upset by this tragic event...as was my family. When we left the beach that day my son looked out over the surf and said...if is your time...I cant imagine a more beautiful place than here for it to happen. Our sincere sympathy and I just wanted you to know this saddened many complete strangers.
