Dear Elaine,very sorry to hear of Paul's passing.I didn't realize that when we occasionally worked together in Foxboro that you were married to Paul. We were in the same class at Dedham High. I didn't know him really well but remember that he was a nice person (and good-looking).My condolences to you,Elaine,and your family.

Dear Elaine and kids--

As Paul's neighbor for many years, we shared many conversations over the fence "with no gate". Your kids friendship with mine made you like a second family. His love for life and his sense of humor will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers to all.

Dear Elaine and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I have know Paul since I was young growing up in Needham. Paul was always our family plumber. He was caring and so loved by my parents and when they were in their 90's Paul would always watch out for my Dad as he was still driving in Needham. You and your family are in my prayers.

I am so sorry about Paul's passing. The great family that he raised, is a testament to the kind of person that Paul was. He reminded me so much of my father, who was a wise, caring, and kind man ,who loved Miller Lite.
The whole family will be in my prayers.

Sincerely,
Larry Ruppert

How happy and proud he must be to have seen all his children grow, marry and start their families!! Sounds like a life well lived, maybe cut short by years, but full and overflowing with LOVE. That in the end is all that matters .

We are so saddened to hear the news on Paul, he will surely be missed by many, his sense of humor was one I'll always remember, I will certainly miss sitting around the pool listening to him talk, I loved his way with words, my kinda guy for sure! I am happy to know he is at peace & not suffering, although it's easy to say Elaine & their kids will be hurting & I pray this goes easy for them knowing that their Dad wouldn't want it any other way! May he Rest in Peace and watch over his family!
Love from Emily & Beef Natick Ma.

Keith and I were sad to hear of Paul's passing, but found solace in knowing he is now at peace.
I loved working with Paul and bonding over what we had pilfered from the Depot Store that day! Kit Kats and Cheetohs were a favorite of ours. With his foot up and his Cheetohs spread out (so he knew just how much he had left), he made working in the Service Department entertaining to say the least. :) Although he liked to act like a tough guy, I was able to see his soft side and how much he cared about his family and teaching our young technicians the proper way of doing things. We shared many laughs and he kept my dad "in line", which is rare! We will deeply miss Paul here at Kerivan-Lane.
Sending our thoughts and prayers to you all. Please let us know if we can help with anything.
XOXO,
Briana (Lane) Tompkins & Keith Tompkins

Our deepest sympathy to all of the Crowley family. Paul was a special part of my life. I always looked up to Paul as a child. He was my Dad's "cool" cousin! He was the life of the party and always drove a sports car that was the envy of any car enthusiast. Recently Paul was a stabilizing factor in my life at Kerivan-Lane. He taught me to calm down and respond thoughtfully. He was a great help in building our business. I loved him, respected him and will miss him. Peace Paul you have had a tough year . God Bless
Love your cousin Chris
