Dear Pat and Family, I knew Paul through his school years at Farmdale and Hempfield. Thank you so much for giving us all a glimpse into Paul's life; the photos are wonderful! God be with you during this difficult time. My sincere sympathies to you all.

Pat and family, I have thought of you, and of Paul, since the day I got your call. My most sincere sympathy.

Though I did not really know you, I feel like I knew Paul like a brother. He was the brother I never had. Having a friendship that lasted for 54 years is something we do not often get to cherish these days. We met as 17 year old freshmen at Etown, and helped each other grow and mature as we shared both a dorm room and experiences. Our special understanding of each other made sure that graduation and adult lives with new responsibilities did not severe the relationship. My heart grieves for our loss. May God be with you,

Dear Pat and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The love you both had for the outdoors, the appreciation for the beauty of gardens, plants and flowers will be how I remember Paul. Please know you are all in my prayers.

Beautiful words about a beautiful life. I will miss his smile, his animated way of talking. Most of all, I will miss the opportunity to get to know more about Paul. So happy Mom and I had some time with Pat and Paul last October. Love to Pat and family. Karen Marchetti

Dear Pat, We've been thinking of you and hope you and your family are doing OK during this difficult time. We thought the tribute was thoughtfully done and really captured Paul's spirit. We will plan on making a contribution to the ASPCA in Paul's memory unless you suggest something else. With deepest sympathy, Don and Carolyn
