Paul was one of the kindest and most positive people I have ever known. He always found the best in others and loved his students as if they were his own.

Paul was a loving compassionate teacher who proved it every day in his classroom. I have appreciated Paul so much for his help and kindness to Molly and her boys.

Paul was a teacher dedicated to his students. One project he organized for them was making baskets. I still have mine. Paul made sure it was a quality project. The staff at Wayne High School, where we were colleagues for many years, admired Paul and his work. We enjoyed retirement breakfast club reminiscing with Paul. He is missed by many.
