I deeply saddened me when I belatedly learned about Paul´s passing while visiting with my cousin last night. I grew up around Paul in suffield public schools, the suffield country club, and going out in the town. Paul had a big heart, a strong dislike of bullies & he truly loved living life to it´s fullest. His spirit is strong and no doubt remains in this great universe. He will be forever in my prayers. My heart goes out to he & his family.

So sad to hear about the death of Dr. Baldyga. My daughter is a patient of his. When no other doctor would take her on in the middle of her braces treatment; his office did. We called serveral practices and they wouldn't even look at her. I'm thankful he was willing and wouldn't turn my child away. I know she will be saddened. He mentioned his son during our visit. He seemed like a proud dad. We will pray for the family during their time of grief.
