To our best friends and family. Kathy and I were talking the other day and it sure does not seem like a year has gone by. I know I sure miss my buddy BIG. We had some great times together. The addition of two little ones to the family, has lessened the grief a little, but it will never go completely away.I kinda yelled at Paul the other day and told him to help Kath, and it looks like he listened. She has had like 4 good days in a row now and that started on Friday. So, we all know he is gone from here but he is not GONE from any of our hearts.God love all of you. Kathy & Bob

Dear Maureen-

I am so sorry to hear of Paul's death. It was always a pleasure to run in to him on the train in the morning and it always made my day seem better. I feel lucky to have known him.

Love,

We were so sorry to hear of Wally and his family having Paul pass so unexpectedly. From all that Bonnie and Nitz told us, he was quite a special man. I wish we would have known him better; it seems anyone who had the privilege of having him in their lives, was made a better person. God Bless you all.

Dear Maureen, Meg, Tim, Marty, Tracy, Putsey, Pat, Wally, Bonnie Larry, Mary, Trudy and Jerry



These last few years have been great getting together when we come into Chicago. We have always enjoyed the time spent with all of you and especially Paul. He will be missed when we gather again. Paul and Maureen's trip out to California was special for us. We had such a great time. Paul was a great husband, father, brother, son and fun and loving cousin. He will be missed. I hope our parents have a beer ready for him, he had a long journey. We will always be ready to help with anything that you need.

We will keep in touch with all of you. Love Nancy, David, Pauly, Candy, Katie Laufer
