We had some great times with the Boston College Band together in the '70's. I just heard of Paul's dearth today. Sorry for your loss. I will add him to my prayer list.

With deepest sympathy, may the power of prayer ease your sorrow, give you peace and provide much comfort for you during this difficult time. Matthew 21:22

I first met Paul in second year Latin class back in 1965 at BC High. Fittingly, I last saw him years ago, after he was diagnosed, in front of St. Ignatius' church before a BC football game. I didn't know at the time of his battle with cancer. He didn't mention it. He was the same old Paul, talking about BC athletics and the pick-up hockey games we used to play, all the time laughing his easy laugh.

Paul was a bright, unpretentious and caring person: an easy guy to get to know and enjoy. I will miss him.

Go with God, old friend.
