We remember the time Paul found the end of our Hanover Park Yard which slopped down about 8 feet. He also learned how to deal with stairs in that house too because he fell down a flight a stairs. It's a wonder he ever wanted to come back to visit us. So "When your heart is empty, filling it with happy memories can help." Paul was a good man. He never hurt anyone. He will be missed by his wonderful family.

All I can say is infectious. His love of live, his laughter, and especially his smile. Whether you were family, a good friend, or just a "passer-byer" you were infected with Pauly's joy and happiness. We will all surely miss you.

There aren't words for how sorry I am that Paul's gone - and at such a young age. I know he loved his family and friends very much - and always had a passion for life. Susan's right - he and Candi are probably laughing at us all from the cosmic party that we'll join them at someday. It may not make this time any easier, but the good memories he gave us are how he'll live on. My thoughts and hopes for your strength and peace are with you at this difficult time.

Always,
Jules

I am so sorry for your loss. Pauly was such a good friend to me. We lived together for 3 years and we became very close. I have thought of him and missed him often over the years and will continue to do so always. I know he is happy where he is and probably laughing at all of us. I hope time freinds and family can help his loved ones heal a bit.
