Paul was a great leader and an even better person. He hired me as a branch manager at First Pennsylvania Bank and became my mentor. He taught me much not only by telling me but more importantly by showing me. I made it pretty far in banking and I´m sure I would not have without his influence. I am sorry I lost touch with him over the years, my fault, for I know he treasured the friendships he created. He was a great boss, a wonderful mentor, a caring Friend and one of the best people I ever had the pleasure to meet. I pray that God knows what a great person he has when he welcomes him into heaven. My prayers for Paul and his family and my eternal gratitude for the memories he left, the confidence he gave and the blessings God gave us with Paul, he was a true hero.

I was privileged to meet Paul in the Roxborough Branch at First Pennsylvania Bank and in the last few years at the Pinnacle at Plymouth Meeting where I worked as a volunteer. He was always upbeat and positive and was a joy to be around. I looked forward to meeting him on a regular basis when he attended Mass at Epiphany of Our Lord in Bluebell. He was loved by everyone, always smiling, with a giving ,caring and sharing attitude. We will miss you ( Silver Fox) his nickname at the Bank. My condolences to his family. His presence was truly felt. Pat McGrath.

Paul and I worked together for many years. He was bright, hard working but most of all a gentleman and caring person. He was a key person in the Quick Loan Center organization and in the Retail Bank. I relied often on his advice and leadership. Les Butler

I worked at First Pennsylvania back in the 70s. I knew Paul although we never worked together. What a beautiful obituary and a life well lived. May he rest in peace. Sincerely, Louise.
