Paul E. Abate

He was a great man is was a great friend too my condolence to the family

Paul was always such a kind and gentle person. The way he could respond to someone on Facebook with respect, but still get his point across, was admirable. Rest easy Paul....we got it from here.

Kind, gentle soul with a contagious smile. And musically talented! I always smile when I think about singing weddings with him in the 70s. Seemed as if everyone loved the Carpenter´s. God bless you
Mr. Abate.

Many prayers for Paul. We spoke about the church and St. Patrick´s in Catskill many times. As a fellow organist, may God say to Paul, well done, good and faithful servant of the Lord. You brought God´s love through music and touched many lives serving others. May you be granted your full reward in Heaven and pray for all of us now with all of the saints. May God grant you peace.

I am so sorry to read of Paul's passing. I knew Paul's dad as a kid where Paul, Sr., was the butcher at our local A & P in Catskill and later at Joe's Food Market on Main Street. They were a wonderful family, friend to all in town. May he rest in peace with his parents.
