I am so sad and shocked to hear of Pauls
passing. We have been friends since Jr.
High and had fun at our 30th. I saw Paul a couple of times a week, as I would walk my dog he would often stop to tease me and say hello. I will miss him so so much! May he rest well and we shall all be together again. I am so sorry for your loss.

To the entire Coughlin Family and anyone who knew and loved Paul: He had the most unique personality of anyone I have ever met. A huge sports fan. Great guy to watch or go to games with or just to have a few beers with. Boy could he make you laugh. I dearly regret not having spent more time with him. I'll miss you greatly buddy. The world has lost some character without you in it.

Paul was truly a unique & wonderful person. I will miss seeing him every am & pm as he walked by with his Roxy. I could always count on him for a laugh or extremely opinionated response on politics, or life in general.He always charmed with that sense of humor. He had a hard road & he was an inspiration with the the way he manauvered it, with dignity, determination & a hint of comedic genius. He left such a beautiful footprint where he walked...
Thinkinging of you all & sending my prayers...

God Bless, The Mikolitch & MacNeil Familiies.
