To the Cummings Family,
I certainly do not know all of you, but I know "of you" through Paul. My thoughts and prayers are with you. The world has lost a wonderful team player. Paul and I had opportunity to occassionally work on sales projects together. He was more than a fellow colleague; he was a friend, an advisor, and one of those rare individuals who always looked out for your best interests. His influence and style will always be with me.

Susie and family, my whole heart goes out to you. Paul was such a wonderful man. When I first met the whole lot of you in Florida, I was pretty overwhelmed. You have such a large, happy, happy family. In the beginning it was hard to imagine fitting in. Paul was the first one to step forward and make me feel welcome. I will never forget his kindness or his humor or his fantastic smile. I'm so sorry for the loss that you must feel. It is my wish that you find some comfort in knowing that you will always have plenty of happy memories. Love & hugs to all of you.

Dear Sue & Family,
I was very sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I was a student of Paul's when he first came to North Collins. He was a very nice man and a Great Teacher. I can remember when your 2 oldest were born. How happy he was to be a Dad. I'm sure he was just as thrilled to be a Grandpa. May all your memories get you through this tough time and know he is at peace now.

to Sue and the Cummings family: we really enjoyed having Paul on our team at InnerLink in our most stressful days. He added a lot - not just sales, but good humor, moral support, and advice. What a nice man he was. I have thought of him often. We had a couple of great sales trips, and I enjoyed his company and his professionalism. Some of the accounts he brought to InnerLink lasted until it closed down in August 2010. Roxanne (Sloane) Laney, Fort Worth, Texas

My deepest condolences to the entire Cummings Family. Paul and I spent four years in the same home room at Canisius High School so I got to know him pretty well. I followed his battle with cancer and admired his personal courage and strength and, more so, his deep abiding faith. May his soul rest in peace.

Paul and I were in the same class at JCU. He was known as an extremely good athelete, but I always remember what a fun and positive attitude he had. I lost touch after graduation, but from the comments I have read he maintained that positive attitude in raising a family and in his community. Your loss will be in our prayers.

A sad goodbye to a great friend, a mentor and a trusted advisor. Paul had a enormous effect on my life, bigger than he knew. It is devastating to have lost Paul the same way I lost my father. His infectious, upbeat attitude had me convinced he could beat this. May Sue and the kids find comfort in their abundance of special memories.
You are already missed.
