I am lucky enough my parents chose you to be my Godfather, which meant my dad not only saw you as a good friend but as a brother and apart of our family. You lived past your expectations and was always there for the family. You brought life to my dad and made him laugh and smile the way no other person could. The stories of you guys as kids growing up will never get old and I know the great memories will still live on. You will forever be in my heart. I love you always Uncle Paulie.

My deepest condolences to Sharon, Joey, Alyssa, the Vumbaco family, friends and all the lives that this great man had impacted and touched. Your in my thoughts and prayers ❤

To Paul's Family, extended family & friends: My heart goes out to all of you, I met Paul several years ago as business has brought me to Meriden many times a year. We met through QT and I just spent about two hours speaking with him about three weeks ago. I was shocked at the tragic news, Paul's heart was larger than his stature and I feel a better person for knowing him. Though I won't be able to pay respects in person, please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

May 12, 2015

Met Pauly for the first time and only time a few weeks ago. We all spent hours talking about the 80's and sharing stories about what we shananagans we go away with back in High School. I told him he was a "Real kind Soul". I normally wouldn't say this to someone - but I really meant it. Told him my husband hunted and without batting an eye he said "I'll Give him a pass to hunt on my land". With the sincerest condolences and prayers to his Family and Friends.

Paulie you are missed.

Your personality, infectious laugh and honesty will live continuously in all of the people that you have touched and especially those closest to you. Your legacy is the memories of all of the great things you have done accompanied by fantastic stories that people will tell and retell. Sometimes the memories will be told with a smile but most stories will be accompanied by a roaring loud continuous laugh. Kind of like yours. All will remember fondly and think..that was Paulie.

With sincere condolences to the Vumbaco family, let the great memories of Paulie and all that he did and affected, comfort you through this very difficult time. Be comforted that he did everything that he wanted to do and lived life to the fullest.
