Paul, I will always see your kind, smiling face each and every time-you will live on; never worry; just Smile down at all of us as we enter! You were there many times alone, while MJ was walking or running errands, so we got to visit & catch up. I don't believe there will be a Chef on the earth that can create your Pulled Pork and gravy (added in a separate container). Our Daughter, Katie and grand daughter, Karyssa had it at their weddings with rave reviews. Remember Terry's favorite sandwich, something to do with 'Hell'! Loved your thousand island dressing and MJ's calorie filled elegant desserts--such variety. There was so much LOVE every visit. When you first opened, it was so exciting seeing you putting everything together (I have many pictures). To believe in your own DREAM and make it happen is a blessing from God. We were always introduced to the kids, grandkids and anyone coming in. You had real food for those that were alone! ALWAYS TO BE WELCOMED! Thank you and know we are smiling back at you as MJ and Rob continue the DREAM of SUCCESS!

I am so sorry to hear of Paul's passing, it stopped me in my tracks as I had to exit my class to just process it. I'm so thankful I was able to get to know him, if only briefly. The two of you were so amazing and always made me feel so welcomed and safe in your restaurant.

It will not be the same going in to Cucina de Paulo and not having a Paulo! He will be missed by many. Both of you have made such an impact on this community. Thank you both for all you do.
