Our first memory of Paul was watching our sons play lacrosse together as freshman in high school. He was a kind man and we shared a love of kayaking together. He and his wonderful family were a big part of our lives during the high school years and we will always cherish our memories. Our hearts go out to Steven and Michelle and their families. They are both beautiful legacies of their parents.
Sincerely,
Tom and Marianne Pendlebury

Paul was a kind, gentle, caring man. Whenever I saw him he made me feel like I was the most wonderful neighbor he ever had. We always had nice visits together - even if it was from the car as he´d stop to chat as he drove by.
I remember seeing him once while I was out for a walk with a ball cap and sunglasses on. I called out & waved, "Hi Paul!"
"I´m sorry. Do I know you?" He asked as he squints my way.
I was increasingly getting closer, removing my cap and glasses as he asked his question.
"Oh, Ellen! It´s so wonderful to see you...." and we continued another nice visit.
Paul and Pat were the most loving people, who raised wonderful children in Steven & Michelle (our favorite babysitters).
May God bless you all with happy beautiful memories of this kind, caring man. He will be missed.
