Fear Patty and Family, Very sorry for your loss. Paul was a "Good Man". I had many terrific chats with him - we always ended with a good laugh. I will fondly remember he would have the soft pack cooler, offering drinks and snacks - a wonderful example of his giving nature. I am grateful to have the memories. Rest in peace Paul.

Patty, your family, and the Rossiter family: My sincere condolences. I'm not family, but as a child, I was treated as part of the family. Paul was my best buddy growing up. We did everything together - same high school, same job, same getting in trouble. Paul was one of the most generous and kindest people I have ever known. I will miss him so much. As with all of you, I will cherish the sweet memories of Paul and especially our childhood growing up as free-range kids.

Saddened to hear of Paul´s passing. Pumpernickel and Hynes Field memories and will never forget Paul driving his brown Ford Galaxie, taking my older brother and I to see my first concert - Alice Cooper at the original Boston Garden in 1972. He will be missed.

Dear Patty, Elaine, Tom, Walter, Robert and your extended families: We want to extend our deepest sympathy and love upon hearing of Paul's passing. He will always be remembered for his ability to transform you back to being kids again growing up in the neighborhood everytime we talked. He was good natured and always could make us laugh. We always will treasure the beautiful photo he took for us of Suzi & E.J. on Elaine & Tom's porch. Rest in peace Paul.
