My heartfelt sympathy to Arlene, Laurie, Maura and Erin. For the brief time with Paul and Arlene I felt like I new them forever. The stories he would tell on our walks around the neighborhood. Paul would always speak of his mom, I'm quite sure he is at peace with her now. We only borrow a piece of life, than we join our loved ones once again. May Paul rest in peace.

Our deepest condolences to Arlene, Laurie, Maura, and Erin. Paul was not only a great neighbor but a great friend. We will truly miss the over the fence backyard chats that sometimes lasted hours as we solved the world problems and enjoyed each others humor and along the way deepened our friendship and respect for each other. Our family will never forget the Lake George boat rides, stopping for ice cream on Glen Island and The history lesson on those Lake George Tours. Paul was always a joy to be around and our kids will always remember those days. Rest In Peace my friend.
John Sorino and family.

May my condolences bring you comfort and my prayers ease the pain of your loss. I can't begin to tell you how my much I loved Paul.
I thought of you with love today, but this is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and the days before that too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. Now all I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, with which we'll never part. God has you in his keeping. I have you in my
With all my love Nancy
