I hope it's ok that even though I placed one of the first entries over a year ago, that I'm writing again:
Not a day seems to go by that I don't think of my old friend/co-worker/supervisor... Still over a year later, there is such a profound sense of loss...
It's strange to think that Paul had already moved on to Oldfields School from Ruxton Country School before he died -- but one thing is for certain -- RCS is not the same without him...

It's been a year since Paul's passing and it still seems like yesterday that he was stopping in my office for coffee and a quick car pool "pep talk". Paul was a great man and taught me how to think more "two-sided" as he called it - and it works wonders. I was blessed to have him in my life and miss him very much. RCS is not the same with out him, but all of us are better for having known and loved him.

I cannot believe what I have just read in the Villanova Alumni magazine-his name sitting there in Memoriam. I had no idea of his passing. Paul was a very dear friend of mine and although we had not spoken in years I never forgot what a wonderful person he was. My belated thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family. If there is anything that I can do for his family please contact me.

As I write a chill passes over me. I just opened my Villanova Alumni magazine to see his name sitting there in Memoriam. I had no idea of his passing. I graduated a year ahead of Paul both at RHS and Villanova. My belated thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.

What a hoot Paul was - I met him the first day at Villanova in the Fall on 1985. During Orientation we were asked to give ourselves a nickname that began with the first letter of our name and he dubbed himself Pugnacious Paul. I called him that fondly for the next four years and we always had a laugh. So sorry for your loss and I will keep you all in my prayers. He is surely very missed.

I am so very sorry to have heard of Paul's death. He was a dear and special friend and person-so passionate and thoughtful, deliberate-always putting others' needs before his. He will be missed, and my memories of him will never fade. My heartfelt wishes to all of the family.

Paul, May gods light shine on you forever...Thoughts and prayers of support to all who love you. Just as the pastor said at your funeral. "This may be the Sox's year" Everyone at RHS misses you dearly. God bless.

Dear Mr. Loughlin-
I attended your memorial service and I will probally forever regret not going in front of the mic to talk. I just really wanted to say how much I truly miss you and how much you really made an impact on me at Ruxton. You made those three years some of the best in my life. I have great memories of you and will never let them go. I am getting teary-eyed just as I think about them. I just wanted to let you know, and I pray everyday for you. You were a great teacher, leader, and most importantly a great friend for me.

Paul's passing was such a shock to all of us here at Woodlynde School. In her note to Woodlynde, Kim metioned Paul's love for the school. Just as Paul loved Woodlydne, so was he loved. He was one of the most talented teachers and coaches I have ever known. I'm not certain that he realized fully the extent of his influence on his students. Paul had such a passion for teaching--whether he was in his middle school reading classes, in the gym with his "Cagers," our middle school basket ball team, or at Bryn Mawr's Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research. He will be sorely missed. Kim and Kate are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am extremely saddened by this news. I attended Villanova with him and he was one of my fraternity brothers. I remember him to be a very good person - kind, funny and interested in the well-being of others. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Dear Mrs. Loughlin,
I just wanted to let you know that you and your daughter, Kate, are in my thoughts and prayers. You have been a wonderful friend to me over the years - especially when I was at Oldfields - and I want you to know that I love you dearly. Please do not hesitate to call on me if you or your daughter need anything. Anything at all.

I had the honor of knowing Mr. Loughin throughout my career at Ruxton Country School. He was a great person, who was much more than the Head of Middle School, he was a friend. My sympathy and prayers go out to his family.

Susan stopped by my desk this morning and told me of Paul's sudden passing. I am just devastated by the news. I remember Paul as a an active student at RHS, when I was a secretary in the main office. My heartfelt thoughts are with you all. A loss such as this is unbelievable. Fondly, Joan Hartmann

Paul Loughlin was one of the best friends I ever had. He was kind, compassionate, funny and an all around wonderful human being. He left a mark on all the students he touched at Ruxton that will never be erased. We were so blessed to have him as a member of our Ruxton family, and I was especially blessed to have him in my life. He left this world way too early, but did more for others in a short time than most people ever get to do. His beautiful wife, Kim and daughter, Kate were the focus of his life and he let everyone know this. For me, he will live on forever in my heart.

Paul Loughlin was truly a wonderful son. We viewed his attributes with tunnel vision as parents tend to do. However, all the kind and thoughtful words that have been both spoken and written gave us a far broader perspective on his life. You have truly helped to focus our vision on the gift God gave to us all.
Your outpouring of love and affection, as well as the deep sense of loss felt by everyone has helped the entire family come to grips with a true tragedy.
We are forever grateful for your loving support. Stay in touch.

To the Loughlin Family,
I was terribly saddened and shocked by the news of Paul's passing. He was a true friend to me at Ridgewood High, this I will never forget. I will always cherish the memories and all of the smiles he put on my face. I regret not keeping in touch, please forgive me. My thoughts and prayers will be with you always. (maiden name, Deeb)

I am in shock this morning after learning of Paul's death. I was a friend of Paul's from Ridgewood High School and cherish many fond memories. I last heard from him three years ago, when he contacted me after my father was killed on 9/11. My thoughts are with your family.

We knew Paul from a young age when he moved to Ridgewood, NJ. We watched him grow into a fine young man. He was bright, athletic, honest, always interested in others and fun to be with. He was a man of principle who was obviously dedicated to his profession. Our deepest sympathy to you and Kate.
Sincerely, Joan & Jim Beauchamp

I am so shocked and saddened by the news of Paul's death. Over the years Paul was at Ruxton, he and I formed a professional relationship that, while very guarded and full of skepticism on both our parts at first, grew into a friendship that was based on mutual respect and consideration. Paul was a really great person, and I know he will be missed terribly. Our thoughts are with his wife, new daughter and extended family at this very sad time. Cindy, Lia, Kevin & Drew Davis
