Richard, Nicole & Kim:
I was so sorry to hear of your father's (grandfather's) passing. I remember him well not only from his days at RHHS, but also from those times when I was a child and my father and I would run into him around town. I always came away from those chance encounters with a little bit of Rocky Hill history. The town truly has lost one of it's most special people.

We have such warm memories of Paul keeping us company and helping out on Friday nights at Oscar's. Because he always had such a nice, friendly way about him, he soon became one of our favorite customers. Lisa Repass, Sharon and Ken Muscarella
