Paul Francis Gramuglia

I've been away for awhile and was heartbroken that my little friend had passed. So many people drove on Avery because we needed all the sunshine he gave and we need to make a permanent memorial to such a wonderful little guy and his spirit! We never know when God will give us such a remarkable star to fill our lives with such beauty. He only gives special children to special families. God bless you!

Paulie you would brighten my day when I'd see you watching the cars on my way home from work. Rest in heaven little guy ❤

Rest in Peace Paul. We will miss seeing you Paul, as we drive by your corners on Avery Street daily. We would wave and beep to you as we drove by, and now we beep to you in heaven. Deepest sympathy to your family.

This has to be the worse!!! I am so sorry for your loss. There aren't any words to express the grief I feel for you and your family. I never had the pleasure to meet your beautiful son Paulie but if he was anything like his mom and dad...he was one great kid! My heart breaks for you and you will forever remain in my prayers. God bless! With love in sympathy, Andrea Jeans

I am so very sorry for your loss. I never met your son but saw him on Avery Street and would wave as we passed. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Paul was my student for a short time. He brought so much light and joy when he was in the room. He would show his love by kissing your hand. I remembered his chocolate pudding smiles or his laughter when I made the fire-truck sound. He taught all of us the value of life and gave us hope when we needed it most. God gave him to us for awhile but he is a beacon that will light up our hearts forever. SIP peanut. I shall miss your laugh. Miss Powell.

So very sorry for your loss. Prayers going up for your entire family!

Our sincere sympathies for your loss.

To the family of Paul.My name is Adan Diaz and I am a driver for WB Mason . I take Avery street on the way back to headquarters everyday and I always got reminded that even as hard as my day was and no matter how tired I was to smile when I would see Paul. I just remember everytime I seen him smile and get excited at the cars going by that I would say to myself God Bless you Kid and also Thank you for the constant reminder that we all should smile more no matter what life brings us. Today when I looked for Paul my heart was broken to see he wasn't there and after I beeped my horn a few times I smiled to myself because I knew he would be. I'll miss you Paul I don't think you had any idea how many people you touched and I will never forget you buddy KEEP SMILING

I didn't know Paul but looked forward to my drive home from work as I traveled down Avery st and I would see his precious face taking in all that nature has to offer. I drove by tonight and beeped at his favorite spot. Rest In Peace precious baby. ❤

Frank and family our condolences on the passing of Paul, our prayers and thoughts are with you.

I absolutely loved driving Paulie. He always had a smile and his shades on. I looked forward to when I would have to go pick him up. Over the last 8 years. Paulie became one of my favorite kids to transport. I would ask his driver for this year, Susan about him all the time. I will miss him. I am glad that GOD gave us the time we had. I am blessed to have known him.

I loved your big beautiful smile , prayers to all that loved you .
Love,
Marie (nurse from TE)

Dear Frank,

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Paulie was my little "ray of sunshine". Whenever I was feeling down he was always there giving me that big smile that would melt my heart. I will always cherish our memories and the times that we were together. My heart is broken, I was planning to visit in July while in CT. I will continue to pray for the family. I will always love you Paulie G. Heaven has gained an Angel.

My deepest sympathies Frank. May your baby rest in peace and my prayers are with you and your family.

I didn't know your beautiful boy, but I had a special child of my own. They teach us more about really living in their short lives, than most people do living 10 times as long . I carry that with me every day. I can tell by your special tribute , you already know that. I'm sure my Stevie met him at the pearly gates and they are discussing why it takes most people so long to figure out how to REALLY enjoy life!!??

Paul, you had such a glowing spirit that spread around you daily. My son Joseph enjoyed being in class with you for two years at Wapping. He remembers learning sign language there to communicate with you more. He will miss you and we all will miss your smile.

Paul reminded us all of what life is for. He made a difference in so many strangers lives. People he didn't even know are sad today. God Bless you and your family Paul.

Paulie what a light you were - the memories of you will continue to shine on your family and all those who knew that smile. May God continue to bless you and those you left behind. Sending all of our love.

My condolences to the family. May the God of comfort grant you strength during this difficult time.

My son & I just waved to you last week, it was a joy to see you loving outside. This seems so unreal. You brought light to our corners. It was always fun to see your joy too. I know you are playing with the angels & are running free. We'll miss you. Yes our lives are a little more grey, I agree.**hugs**

Paul is and always will be such a beautiful soul! I always enjoyed seeing his enormous smile at Eli Terry! How lucky were we all to have been able to meet such a special boy!! You will forever be in our hearts!

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I had some wonderful words of wisdom to ease some of your pain. Just know I am thinking of you all.

Rest peacefully Paul!!! You are now Free!!! We will miss saying hello to you on your walks on Kelly rd! Thinking of you all. May your cherish the warmth of the good times!!

Frank, Ann, Luca and Leo, there are no words that can be said-please know that you are loved beyond measure and prayed for daily. Heaven has gained one beautiful angel...you have been watching over Paulie for 8 precious years and now he has a turn to watch over you. With much love always, Allison

I looked forward to seeing Paul on my way home, and seeing him jump a little when I honked my horn. I was always rewarded with his smile! He will be missed.

We will pray for all you!

I'm so sorry for your loss. This made me think of my sister who passed in 2010. It also made me happy, and sad, and left me wishing I had known this wonderful young person. Hugs

Dear Frank and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Seeing Paulie on his corner always brought a smile when we beeped hello! May he RIP & run free with all of his special angels above

What a beautiful tribute to your Paul. He made a deep impact in his shortened life that it seems many will never forget. As a person who has lost children, I understand the deep loss you are experiencing. Be comforted in the celebration of his life and all the happiness he gave you. Please accept my sincere condolences and prayers in this time of loss. You are in my thoughts.
Lois Silver

May his memory be as a blessing. He lit us up as we would wave to him. He will be missed.

I hope you can record all the happy memories you have as they come to mind to store up the joy he had in your hearts. I hope this season is filled with many blessings and community celebrating Paulies life.

Tucker and I are truly honored and grateful to have become acquainted with Paulie. Paul was so sweet and he exuded joy every time we saw him. Sweet, precious boy. You will be missed.

I was recalling the following article just the other day: and picturing Paul having fun there this summer. He was a warrior for sure, a gentle warrior. You will be missed, you will be loved in memory. Aunt M

Dear Frank and Family,
I am deeply saddened by the death of your beloved son, Paul. May he rest in the arms of Jesus and your sorrow turn to joyous memories. My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy. God bless you.

I didn't know Paul, but reading his obituary has compelled me to write and tell you how much it touched me. I pray that you and all your family members are comforted in your wonderful memories of this special boy. He was truly a child of God and is surely now in his presence. Peace be with you.

Very sorry for your loss Frank and Ann our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

Dear Gramuglia Family,
My heartfelt condolences go out to you at this time. I heard a lot about Paul from his dad -- especially about the joy he found in his Make a Wish backyard playhouse. He sounded like such a special little guy. Frank always had a smile on his face when talking about him. My heart goes out to you.

Condolences,
Anne Martin

Frank,

My heart was so very heavy before I read Paulie's love letter from his parents.

What a wonderful tribute for a wonderful son.

What a blessing you have been to so many.

Fondly,
