What a shock! Paul is just one of those guys you always expect to be there. I met Paul through my husband, and there was never a dull moment with Paul around. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. God bless.

I remember good times playing golf with Happy. Here's your chance to get that hole-in-one you always wanted. It's a perfect world up there from what I hear. Keep your head down and follow through!

My wife and I just spent some time with Paul at a charity function on Saturday. We were shocked to read of his sudden passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Paul's family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. May happy memories be a joy forever! I have fond memories of growing up with my 4 siblings and the Montalbano's in Farmington. Happy was always the "jokester" in the bunch of my younger brothers' group. God Bless and may He keep you all well and safe! Khaki Duggan Weber

I met Paul shortly after he started working for First Data as a sales rep in 1999. At that time I was working in a support role for our Sales Team on the phones. Paul always made me smile--it would make my day to pick up the phone and hear his voice on the other end. Often we would be on calls together with unhappy merchants or bankers. After the call I'd be completely stressed and Paul would immediately call me back-laughing- and that one of a kind laugh I'll never forget. He taught me not to take work and life so seriously.

He often talked about his family especially his sons and although Mike was his 'little brother' I know he looked up to him and was extremely proud of him.

I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to meet and work with Paul. I will always cherish my memories of him.

My thoughts and prayers are with his children and his family.

I will always remember Happy's smile, sense of humor, and generous heart. He was always there to help someone. "Dang", Happy! Why did you leave us so soon? Family gatherings will never be the same. Peace and love to you. Say hello to our Fathers and Grandmom for me.
