Loved so much. Words cannot express the grief. The biggest consolation in his sudden departure is that he is Home with the family that departed first. His parents and siblings greeted him with enormous grins, love and a real sense of peace. I know he is happy and now a warm and huggable angel keeping watch over us. Enjoy your new home, Uncle Paul. Keep it cozy for our arrival one day.Just whisper to the Lord, not too soon. Donna Lesko

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Paul. I played softball and bowled with him for many years and even though I haven't seen him in a while I can still remember him talking to me like it was yesterday. I can still hear his soothing voice, see his smile, his laughter, and his genuine spirit. His face, his mustache, and his left-handedness-all went toward with him being Paul. I remember him siding my house in West Haven. He did a “Cadillac job”. He was diligent, pleasant, and hard-working. He was a great guy to be with. A guy you had fun with. Paul touched everyone that way. I extend my personal condolences to Paul's family and to my old friend, Jackie Molster. I share in your grief. He will be missed.

Paul was blessed with a large, happy, loving family. My sister and I remember him fondly after all these many years and we will be forever grateful to him for the kindness he showed to us during our own times of bereavement. We wish his family and all our cousins the sincerest condolences at his passing. He was, plain and simply, just a wonderful guy.

Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. Uncle Paul was a righteous and honorable man. Though we are only here for a short time our mark is made by the path we tread. When we go, our enduring legacy is measured by the love felt for us by the ones we leave behind.

so sad to here of Paul's passing and your loss. I was good friends with Paul in our youth. Lost contact with him when he moved from East Haven. But have fond memories from our youth. What a beautiful obituary and it makes me regret not reconnecting with him in later years. Blessings to you all. Lee Chamberlain
