Dear Julia and family,
It was just yesterday while having lunch with Dad and Rob that I found out about Paul. Big-hearted, warm, funny, and always welcoming are thoughts that come to my mind when thinking about him. Even when I was just a kid, Paul stood out to me as one of the best "grown-ups" Mom and Dad knew-(still remember how incredible his dog-bark was.) As I got older I figured out that he was one of the really great guys. He is in our thoughts as are all of you.

How do I begin? To start, gracious man comes to mind. Paul Pagan was funny, enthusiastic, generous, charitable, loving, kind hearted and giving…truly there are not enough adjectives to describe Paul.
Paul was blessed to have his devoted wife Julia and nine loving children.
Our family love for Paul goes back at least 50 plus years. Mom and Julia were Navy Nurses who bonded like sisters. Their bond in turn has bonded our families for life. We feel as though we lost a member of my own family, and we did.
We will fondly remember all the laughter and the bountiful food they shared with us. Paul Pagan’s door was always open to everyone. Paul’s kind and charitable heart will forever be remembered by all of us.
Dear Julia, Paula, Tommy, Danny, Cynthia, MaryAnn, Denise, Julianne, Valerie and Nancy, our family sends our heartfelt condolences.
Paul vi resto nella pace eterna con il nostro padre celeste e il mio dio angeli guardare oltre la vostra famiglia.
We love you,
Rose, Karla, Kris, and Karl
