Pauly and I met in 1995, we were instant friends. He taught me how to drive my first Monte Carlo and showed me how to work on my cars. Paul was a great man, a wonderful friend and an even better mechanic but above all he was loved.
Prayers to the family and my very deepest condolences for your loss.

Paul was my neighbor in business, I would enjoy talking cars with him in the wee hours of the morning. If I ever had an issue with my work vehicle or any other Motorized thing, Paul was on it pronto!
A mechanical genius and a good man. Always treated his customers and people with dignity. He will truly be missed in this neighborhood on North Street.
My condolences to Jamie & family.
Gods speed good friend!
