I will miss Paul & our conversations . Fran & Paul would come in for their annual review. Fran would always be engaged & ask a lot of questions. Paul, couldn't wait until we were done. He just wanted to talk about the Redsoxs . It always put a big smile on my face. Rest in peace Paul.

Paulie always called me "MeMe" Paul would make Fran,Veta and Me the best Cosmo's and Apple Martini's. Paul's concern was not for himself, he would say to me"I want to know Frannie and my children will be O.K."Paulie loved Fran,his children,grandchildren and Zack and Zoe very much. I will miss him.

Fran,
Very sorry to hear of Paul's passing. Paul was a real good man and I really enjoyed working with him at Matik. As you know we had many good times. We also had fun with our love of the Red Sox and the UConn women.
