Louie and Emily

The loss of anyone close to you trying but to loose a child can be enormous. While we did not know Paul well directly, we did get to know him through you. He was a fantastic guy, always wanting to help, understanding of others and their feelings, and going the extra mile.

A long time ago someone passed on some words that have remained with me - remember the past, live for today and dream of the future.

Dear Emily, Louis, and Lemond family:

The loss of Paul has had a profound affect on all of us. His death has made me realize how rare true love really is in this life, and how it should be cherished as a precious gift. Paul gave that gift to me, and I will be forever grateful for the time we had together, and for the love we shared for that brief moment in time. As we all try to go on living without Paul in our lives, I know that his love will live on in our hearts, and every laugh and smile we experience in the future will be a reminder of the happiness we shared with him in this life. My thoughts are with you every day. Love, Beth Ann

I've only known Paul for a little over a year. What I do know about Paul is that his feelings for the people he knew were strong and sincere. How do I know that? Because I felt it from the first day I met him. He was genuine and it showed.

“Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends leave footprints in your heart." Paul, thanks for the footprint.

To the Lemond Family,

Although I didn't Paul for very long, I know what a nice guy he was and a devoted friend he was to my boyfriend Peter Cohen. I am very sorry for your loss and he will be sadly missed, especially his laugh.

I'm really glad to have reconnected with Paul in the past year. I had the opportunity to get to know him better than just acquaintences. When Paul comes to mind, the first thing that pops into my head is that laugh. Quick-witted and fun-loving, he was always fun to be around. The stories of the crazy good times with him that everyone tells seem to be endless.

Laura and I were looking forward to him visiting "The Estate" on one of his trips through Virginia. We will miss him very much. Our deepest sympathies to his family and many friends.

Though I've not seen Paul in perhaps 20 years, I remember him very well and very fondly from the Emporium. He was a joy to work with and to be around--a positive person with a wonderful sense of humor and boundless energy. May the fond memories that so many people share provide comfort to his family and friends.

To the Lemond Family and my sister Beth Ann,

I would like you to know that Paul has been and will be missed at our house. He was a big part of our family for so long. Christian and Amelia will always remember the car shows, amusement parks, funny one liners and jokes. Who can forget the universal hand signal for "get out of my kitchen" and the way he would put his own words to songs that he didn't like. I will always remember when I was pregnant with William how the only food I craved was Paul's Shrimp and Dip.

He was very thoughtful. Every so often the kids would get things in the mail like a car or movie poster or a phone call about something that happened in the news that day or he just had to tell us the funniest joke in the most recent issue of the Funny Times

His spirit will definitely be with us always.

Our thoughts are with you all during this very sad time.

I always enjoyed arguing with Paul about the best receipe for Boullabaise.Through Paul, I met Beth Ann, and I will always be thankful to him for bringing her into my life. Please know that I will not forget him, and that he will be missed.

To: Lemond Family and Bethann,

I was extremely saddened this week by the news of Paul's passing. Paul was one of my best friends and he will be greatly missed. Paul was the type of person that within the first 60 seconds of meeting him for the first time you felt like you have known him forever. I can not tell you how much joy and good laughs we’ve endured together through the years.

My thoughts and Prays are with you all.

To the Entire Lemond Family and Bethanne,

Firstly, Anne what a beautiful obituary you wrote about Paul. I welled up both times I read it. Beautifully done!

My heart goes out to all of you. I am so sorry for your loss. Paulie was one of the most beautiful guys in all the world. I loved him dearly.

When you're ready, I hope you find the comfort and peace that Paul is now in a better place. Just like you, I wish he were here with us. For our own selfish needs and desires he all wish he was still here, but, the big-guy upstairs had a different plan for Paul. We have to accept HIS plan. We have to gather our strength and ask God for his support and guidance during these times. I'm not the most religious guy in the world but I know God will watch over you all and help you get through your loss.

I loved Paulie and I will miss him deeply.

God, and friends, and family are what will help you get through this. If I can do anything for you now, or, whenever, please don't hesitate to let me know. I loved Paulie with all my heart and I would be honored to assist you in anyway I could.

Respectfully yours with my deepest condolences,

Brad Axelrod

Beth,

We are so saddened by the news of Paul's passing. Though we haven't seen you since the last SYC Christmas party you attended, Paul often stopped by to see Howie whenever he was in the neighborhood. He always had a smile on his face. Know that we will remember him fondly and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
