WOW. I knew Paul since 1976
I think that I may have met his mother first then the whole family
I was his their dentist
I retired in 1976 and always wondered how my old parents are doing so I looked Paul up
WOW. I am so sorry

Reflecting on this day 15 years ago as I was in Mercy Hospital, the day after giving birth to Kenny, getting the word that you just passed. You hung in there until you knew your first grandson was born and that there would be a distraction for your family to not solely reflect on our sadness of losing you. Every year my emotions fluctuate from the happiness of my boys birthday on the 8th to the sadness and emptiness felt in my heart when you entered heaven on the 9th. Thinking of you and missing you always. PJ

Forever and always in our hearts! Dad, I miss you everyday! I love to tell the kids stories about you, and they love to talk to your pictures. I know that you'd be proud. Xoxo Patti

I can't believe 9 years have passed and know you are watching over all of your family of which we appreciate but we miss you dearly. We continue to share the amazing memories we have of you with all your grandchildren. Words cannot explain that great man you were and the feeling of being with you was special. Remembering how you used to call Kaitlyn your big butterfly and Kristina, your little butterfly, although there is now 6 other grandkids that never got those special nicknames and never met you but they hear great stories, we miss you dearly as do many others. Your little butterfly says "if I were to get one more chance to see you I would never let go, never. Because if I do, it would be giving up the physical form those memories take, the sparkle of imagination and the way I would look into your eyes and say remember when......?" Dad/Grandpa, we love you and miss you!
Love PJ and Kristina

We just had my Dad's first birthday in heaven today and signing his book reminded me of the years that you have been missing from us too. My mom is in the ICU ward at the hospital and it made today "not the way we thought it would be". Our focus was on surrounding ourselves with family and trying to comfort mom, without mourning too openly. We toasted to my dad with Baileys at the firehouse, left flowers in the mug that bares his name, next the seat he always sat in. We prayed for him, for our Aunt, his sister whom we just lost and shared our gratitude for all the blessings we have in our lives - like friends - all of the Travers' with whom we hold so dear. We share a mutual understanding of grief and sorrow and loss, but also compassion without meassure. You are missed Paul - things aren't the same any more...God bless you

To say I think of my father everyday would simply not be enough. I live each day as a part of him. He made me the man I am today and I wish I had the opportunity to share, with him, how thankful I truely am.
I continue to this day telling stories of how he raised me to my students. I guess you can say in a way he is still raising some kids.

The memories of my Dad are just on and on...I miss him tremendously. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I am so emotional right now that I could barely type.
2 years yesterday, I celebrated the birth of my son, and 2 years ago, today, I suffered the loss of you, Dad. Miss you and love you.
Kaitlyn(your Princess) and Kristina(your little butterfly) still talk of their wonderful memories with you.
Thank you to Mary Joan and Jim for maintaining this guest book and to all who continue to remember my Dad and speak of the wonderful memories.

well it's november 9th again.. of the things not lost are: the memories of you, from the baby brother i long ago diaper- changed, to the painfully sick man i held on nov 8 '06..you always,always made me happy...recalling most of them still does...it's just sad i can't get more is all...happy anniversary Paulie...jim

Two years ago today I was with our brother Paul for the last time. Two years ago tomorrow God took him to his side, perhaps mercifully, but the loss still lingers deeply for me and is often, inappropriately, resented...God must have needed to get something straightened out up there.
The time since seems to telescope, sometimes feeling like many years, at other times feeling merely like days, as evidenced by the tears dampening my keyboard as I type this.
Paul's life with us was not full of fame and fortune. No, but he was a loving father, a wonderful brother and an extraordinary friend and we should all be so graced to be remembered that way.
Yet again, Godspeed, Paul...you may have left me physically, but I speak with you often and my world, indeed all of our world, is better for the time you spent with us.

It's been said that life is a gift...but one that requires some assembly...and Paul was indeed a remarkable assembler.
Almost a year later, I still grieve ever so much, but I am learning to accept the wonderful memories as the gift Paul left me and all he touched...a very special gift that I treasure more every passing day.
Thank you, my brother.

Fifty years ago .. maybe a little less, I knew Paul Tavers as a fellow classmate at St Agnes elementary school and also at High school as freshman. As far as I know, he was someone who cared for every human being , even me a foreigner at that time . I'll keep a very deep thought on him and wish his wife, brothers and sisters freinds, and all who knew him , all my compassion . When I think of all the people whom we cared for and left us quite suddenly like Patrick Curren (1957), I wont forget Paul Travers in my thoughts and prayers

The memories are full of laughter and love: April Fools' day and holiday parties, bear hugs and boat trips home with the stars above and ocean below. Paul gave on balance more than he got, happily. I - we - should hope to live such a life.
