Paul and I went to CM together. I knew his father from the time he worked for my uncle in South Boston. Paul was a great man. He loved his family. My prayers go out to the family and for my friend Paul. RIP my friend .
Sorry I missed the services.

My condolences to the O´Connor Family at this sad time. Paul was a tremendous source of comfort to my family when my parents died, as well as, my three brother´s unexpected deaths. A consummate professional with a kind heart. RIP Paul.

I can only thank Paul for being the sweetest and most compassionate guy (gentleman), who we all love in Adams Corner and of course St Brendan´s Church. Thank you for all your kindness while caring for my family! You will be dearly missed. Love to your family!
