Oh Pauly, So sorry to know you are gone. God bless you old friend. Always a silly story or a crazy joke and those trips we had to make up to Maine with Lockheed Martin (affectionally known as Lunkhead Martian!) to check on ships in Bath! It was a joy to know you my old friend!

Could not find a better man, friend or coworker. Paul consistently batted 1000 in all categories and was a darn fine musician to boot. This is a guy with a personality, sense of humor and mischievous smile that we'll truly and sadly miss for a long time to come.

Alice and Family of Paul,
So sorry to hear of your loss. It was a little over two months that I saw both of you in the Doctors Office. I know how your heart is feeling expecially after losing Fred in February. I cry almost everyday knowing I will not see him.
Paul was a good person and even when talking to him in the doctors office he was concerned about me with Freds passing. I Will miss Pauls smile and caring for others.
Alice you have my email text me sometime if you want someone to talk to. You and Your Family are in my prayers.

Paulie was a good friend whom I've known for many years. As others have said, he loved to fish and he loved the Mets. He was so serious about them that while we were watching the Mets vs Boston back in the '80s, at one point he couldn't stand the tension any more and he went for a walk! While fishing on my boat on the Kennebec River (Maine) for blues, Paul found that the only time he'd get a bite was right after he lit a cigarette. He was a nervous wreck waiting for a bite and we had a lot of laughs. There have been too many stories over the years (all good) to recall here but I'll miss him. Despite our geographic differences, Paul would occasionally reach out to stay in touch. Great guy, sorry to hear of his untimely passing. My thoughts are with his family.

Paul you were a great boss, a great coworker and best of all an AWESOME friend. We met back in early 90's as I became one of your insubordinates, we both left that place and went our separate ways to work and explore didn't avenues, just to be together again at SCI, where you left us last. Always a person that was smiling and laughing even if your day was dreary, always found something positive out of it, always knew how to cheer one up and make us see the positive side. Will miss you sitting in the office in front of me calling my name making me come in there just so you can say, HI! I love you dear friend and miss you even more. I will not say goodbye, just until we met again, Bon Voyage my dear friend, Bon Voyage.
Alice my heart goes out to you girlfriend, remember Paul has put us back in touch so let's not lose that.

Paul - I first met you 20 years ago and you made me feel like family at that first meeting. Even though we became family some years later I have always felt a close bond with you and I miss you terribly. I am a sad sister-in-law today, but I know God wants special people with him and that would be you. I will be looking forward to the time when I see you again. Rest in peace. I love you.

Alice and Nick I'm so sorry for your loss. Paul will be greatly missed. I was a fellow Field Rep and had many long hours together at work and play. While attending a factory school we shared an apartment. He decided to shed a few pounds and started a Pizza Diet. He lost 10 pounds. He will be up there looking down on all of us saying “Look at the View”.

Being Paul's neighbor and childhood friend I have many great memories of Paul growing up in the Bronx. Paul was my first influence on playing guitar and we played in bands together as teenagers. After Paul joined the Navy we've always managed to keep in touch through the long years. Now it seems those years have gone much too quickly. You will always be missed but never forgotten. God bless you Alice, you are an angel.

Alice, Paul's family, and family of friends, I am very sorry for your loss and my loss. Paul and I grew up together in the Bronx and were good friends that spent a lot of time together (until late in high school). We played sports together, guitar together, went to high school dances and just hung out.... He recently, in the past couple of years, reached out to get back in touch with me and I was very excited and pleased that he did. I will miss him very much and look forward to seeing him in the next life!

Prayers to the Marzovilla family. I worked with Paul in San Diego while we were employed with General Electric. He was such a sweetheart and always made everyone around him smile or laugh. I'll never forget our trips to Mexico or the Halloween party where he let me dress him up as a dog. Hoping the suffering is over and that his soul rests in peace.

I cannot imagine life without my dearest and best friend of 20 years - my husband. Paul's wit could make the saddest person laugh. He loved everyone and everyone loved him. I've never know a more kind, generous person in my life. He saw the good in everyone and treated everyone as though they were the most important person on the earth. I love you honey. Words cannot expression how much I will miss you. Your Loving wife.
