I lived on Orchwrd Drive growing up and knew all of you, Debbie and i were friends and my deceased mother an almost liflong friend of Doris. I remember Paul being so friendly and smiling all the time. He was always so nice and sincere with a good head on his shoulders. I cant beleve be is gone, only a year older than me. I feel so bad for all of you who knew and loved him and especially his children. Im not sure if he died from cancer as the obituary. Didnt say although hospice was mentioned as a dontion place. Loss of a loved one is very painful but time heals the sorrow and hurt alot leaving very good memories. God bless you all..again, i am very sorry for your loss. Donna Brandon (Cardascia)

I worked with Paul for three years at St. Christopher's Inn and he was absolutely the best. He was a great friend to a rather homesick girl from Indiana. He always had a smile and a kind word. I made my first visit to a casino with Paul and other friends from the inn. When I returned to visit years after leaving NY and the Inn, Paul always welcomed me with a bear hug and beautiful smile. What wonderful memories I have. Now he watches over us from above.

I join with many in praying for Paul ,his wife and family during this time. Paul found great success as a chef and party planner. I look back at our days at St. Mary's with many fond memories. In sixth grade ,we were both part of a staff on the school newspaper,"Angel's All American" .Mrs. Angel was our sixth grade teacher. Those were fun times.

So sorry- :-( Paul was a great guy. I remember being only about 9 years old and I would listen to him sing along to Roy Orbison 45's on the jukebox downstairs. Paul was always lighthearted, jovial, and loved to crack a joke. Many memories down at PCC. He will be missed. Rest in Peace, my friend- I'm sure he's telling St. Peter a joke right now- " St. Peter, did ya hear the one about ---" Tim K
