In remembering Paul again I realize re-reading the Obit that we were at North Catholic at the same time. I was born 6/1/ 35. he was a month later 7/23/35. There was a Tepper in my class who signed my yearbook, Joe Tepper, also a great guy. I wonder if he was a relative. Joe lived on Edgemont St. in Philly.
Paul was probably in the class of 53, I started school early and graduated with the class of 52.
As usual it turns out to be a small world and being a small part of a good guy's life is a Blessing
I'm sure he is settled in comfortably in Heaven now and is part of the meet and greet team that welcomes the ex PECO guys that are lucky enough to make it.
I hope to see him again someday, he was, what we would say in the Service, "Special People".

Rest in Peace Paul, and condolences to the family

Marge, I am saddened by your message. Paul was a great guy and I loved to see you both on Sundays. His heart for his family and his desire to share God's love to inmates was very sincere and genuine. I am sure you and your family will miss him tremendously but know there are others who share in your loss and are praying for you all. I am sorry I won't be able to make the service but I will be in touch with you. May you feel God's strength and peace as you welcome friends and visitors who will share with you all especially this Saturday. God bless you all.

Paul was one of those rare people that you don't often encounter in this life and that I was blessed to know and call my friend.
He was a man of great faith and compassion. He lived a life of generosity and service and integrity. He served as an example in my life and I am sure in the lives of countless others. He will be deeply missed and my thoughts and prayers go out to Marge and his children.
