I am so sorry for your loss. I met Paul thru an ad I placed for a driver, I needed a ride to the casino in which I had worked at in ac. I needed him for 3 months. I was able to spend a lot of time talking with him and getting to know him. He was a great man that was funny, and respectful. He was never late and always got me to work on time and was always there when I was done. We use to drive by this bar that was vacant and make up ghost stories about what use to go on inside the bar. We would laugh the whole ride. It was an honor to have known him. We lost touch as time went by but every now and then we would send a joke back and forth by e mail. I will truly miss him. If it wasn't for Paul I would of lost my job of 25 years.I am very saddened by his loss. Debra Lilly

Paul was a good man, a dreamer and a believer. He believed that anything was possible, and even though I haven't seen him in years his existence will be missed. however if you knew Paul you would know that he still exists and will be with his family until they meet again in heaven... Danny Vanore

I am so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I was a bus aide with your Dad for 1 1/2 years. I feel like I know you as all he talked about was Paul, Ronnie, Renee and Deneen and all the family get togethers. He especially loved bringing home the leftovers for future meals! My sympathy to your family and my prayers are with you all. Andy Hall

I loved Paul..ie like a big brother. I am truly going to miss him, his beautiful smile and all the times he made me laugh until it hurt. To all my cousins (his children and grandchildren) - I am so sorry for your loss. You were the best kids to him always making sure he was taken care of. We talked about all of you all the time.

All I can say is that Paul was one of my favorite cousins. What will I miss? His giant personality, humor and, of course, his jokes. I will miss reading his writings of his one act plays. We are all so saddened by his loss. Our Carrozza connection will never be the same without him. I love you Paul(ie). Cousin Rosemarie
