It's been some time now since you've left us, and to be honest it is felt every single day. Your jokes (sometimes were not so funny to everyone), your singing, dancing and laughter is missed dearly. I will forever cherish our moments together and forever keep you in my heart. Me and mom were at the nail salon on Saturday and "Flowers" came on by Miley Cyrus came on - We felt you there with us.
You are loved, you are missed and I hope you feel us too. Love you unc.

My condolences to the family. I often think of when Paul and I were stuck in the elevator for almost an hour on a Friday evening heading home from work and I still bust out laughing. That is how I'll always remember Paul.

I also knew Paul from the Somerville dialysis clinic. Sometime he would rib people, and sometimes he would sing, so it was like having Don Rickles and Frank Sinatra in one person. I will miss him.

There are not enough words to say how much I love you and will miss you. You were my best buddy, my confidant, my light in the dark. I can't begin to imagine a world without you in it. My heart breaks everyday for your children and family. Anyone who has ever spent any time with you knows how big your heart was. Until we meet again my friend, soar with the angels.

So sorry to hear about Paul. He was a comedian at the dialysis unit. It is so quiet without him and it just doesn’t feel the same. He was friends with everyone and had a nickname for all the nurses. He is surely missed by all of us at DCI.
Forever in my heart, my favorite guy; UNC
