I remember one of the first times I went over andy's house to hang out when we were kids, and I was just struck by the hobbies; Astronomy, flying, Alaska, Patriots, plus about a half dozen others I barely glimpsed.

My father passed just before I was born, so I was always a bit envious of Andy for his good fortune in not just having a dad, but one that was, undeniably, cool.

We never know how much time we have with the ones we love. But I am glad that the Vidal family had so many good years with a father figure like Paul Vidal, he was a good man.

Myself, and the Sirois family, offer our deepest condolences for this tragic loss.

Mr Vidal was my instructor at CCRI. In the years since, I wanted to reach out and let him know how important his time was to me and throughout my career, I tried to work in a way which might earn his respect. I am truly saddened by his passing and offer my condolences to his family.

Dear Carol and family,
I live on Rockdale Avenue, and the cemetery is my backyard. Watching the tragedy unfold, I had NO idea that I would know the family impacted by it. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Life-long friend, We became friends @ 5 yrs. old. He would call me anytime and ask if I was busy. Then he would fly to Connecticut, pick me up, fly to Martha's Vineyard for lunch We did this many times He would tell everyone that I was his first friend, We were 5 yrs. old, when our friendship began. Paul always was 'My Very Best Friend'

Carol and family, I can't begin to tell you how sad I am at your loss. I have so many happy memories from my youth of spending Sunday mornings with my "cuz" and his family. Not only was he my cousin, but he was also my friend. I am so sorry that this has happened to him and to you and the family. I will pray that God gives you all the strength to carry you through this tragedy, and hope that strength will help you all to carry on. Just know that he will live forever in your hearts.

With much love and sorrow for you all.
