So sorry to hear, Paul was the nicest guy. Went to NYC with him on the bus many times. My wife Andrea was his Assistant for a while. Loved seeing him at the last reunion.

Back in the 50's, Paul had a paper route on line street on the South Side and the surrounding area. He recruited me to help him with the route. It was extra money for me and made life a little easier for him. Basically, that was my first job. So sorry to read about his passing. He was a fine man - and a good boss!

I did not know you personally, however I would very much like to "Thank You" for your dedicated and honorable Military Service to OUR country.
At a later date we will meet in that "SPECIAL PLACE" which GOD reserves for ALL of those who have stepped forward to serve their country in a Military Uniform.
