My prayers go out to Paul and his family. Paul was a great member of the Boston Building Trades and to all tradesmen. AS a member of Local four my personal contact with Paul was during his many voluntary works for the needy. My condolences and prayers to all the family.

Bob,

I was saddened to hear of your father's passing. I know recent times have been tough with the disease. My memories, of course, are the earlier days when he had the family and, in fact, the neighborhood in the Union. Later, of course, the business. He was a dynamic individual. The true testament of his success is you and your siblings. Take a little time and reflect. He was a true provider!

Regards to your mother and the rest of the family.

Your friend,

Dave

Paula and family,
We are so sad to hear about your dad. Please know we are thinking of you at this very sad time.
