Damiani Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on Paul's sudden passing. Growing up with Paul and Lui on Inglis Avenue, I have many fond memories of those years. Even though we were separated by great distance over the years, Paul and I always tried to reconnect over the holidays. He was always such a motivated individual who thoroughly enjoyed life! He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grief.

Dear Gino and Maureen,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
I noticed that Paul passed away on the feast of the Guardian Angels. After reading what has been written here by others, I can tell that he was a very good person in God's eyes, as well in others' eyes. I'm sure he's in heaven, thanks for the most part to your excellent upbringing.
God bless and keep you and your family and may the angels comfort you.
Love,

I'm so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I was lucky to grow up around Paul and your family. I remember us kids hanging out in the alley between Mulford and Inglis Roads, where we used to shoot hoops late into those summertime nights.
My heart is with all of your family during this sorrowful time.

To Paul's Family,
No amount of time or number of miles will ever erase the wonderful memories Paul provided to us all. He took life by the horns and lived it to the fullest. Our hearts ache for his family who adored him, and the countless people whose life Paul touched. He was a man of great intellect, kindness and courage. While we've lost a wonderful person, Heaven welcomed home a beautiful soul. May you take a little bit of comfort knowing that you are not alone in your grief, but share it with the thousands who knew and loved Paul. Our thought and prayers are with each and every one of you during this difficult time. Thank you for sharing him with the world. He will live on forever in our thoughts and in our hearts. God bless you.
With deepest sympathy, Maureen Lemke-Compton, GHHS Class of 1980

To the Damiani Family,
Please accept my condolences on Paul's passing. His will be a loss that can never be replaced.
I got to experience Paul's muscially talented side at GHHS, performing with him in the band, choir and the Grandview Singers. Probably the purest trumpet sound I ever heard. Whenever I heard "My Way" on the radio, I always thought of Paul - now it will be even more so. I believe his mentoring and counseling of an out-spoken underclassman also had a lasting effect and I am grateful for it.
You will remain in my prayers.

Dear Stephanie, Jessica, Christina, and Anna,
It was with great sadness that I heard the news about Paul's passing. I pray that you can find comfort in knowing how Paul touched the lives of so many people across so much of this world.
I remember fondly carpooling with Paul to and from work for many years, sharing in Thunderbird events, and celebrating family occasions together. Know that Paul will be deeply missed.

Dear Stephanie, Jessica, Christina, Anna,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you now. We remember vividly the day you came into our lives under the warm Arizona sun 18 years ago. Who would have thought we would stay together for so many years as friends and colleagues. One school, two companies and two cities, at times Paul and I spent more time together than we did with anyone else.
Eventually our careers took us to seperate continents, but Paul always remained close at heart! He will be missed greatly, but never forgotten.

Damiani Family,
My condolences on your loss, I will always remember Paul for his love of flying, the first time I flew was with Paul and continued to fly many times after. As a student at Grandview I had the honor of flying down to Miami University with Paul to tour the school our senior year, I will never forget the reaction when everyone found out we flew ourselves to the school. May your memories of Paul be the guiding light through this trying time, my prayers are with you all.

Gino and Maureen,
You have my heartfelt sympathy at this time. Know that Paul,you and the family are in my prayers. Paul was a wonderful son, husband, and father. I still remember him and Lui as children growing up in Grandview and all the "pranks" they used to tell me about, such fun, good sons. My husband Pete and I will have a Mass said for Paul at Holy Family Church on W. Broad St. in Columbus.
With love and prayers,
God bless,
