Maria,
Words cannot express how sorry I was to hear about Paul. And although I haven't seen you all for several years, I consider you to be "family". Paul was a great addition to Chucko. I don't know if I ever saw him without a smile. He kept everyone laughing and I know he is missed by all. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Love,
Mary

Dear Maria and family,
We just found out yesterday about Paul's passing. We are so sorry for your loss. I can't believe he is gone, he will be missed greatly. I will always remember the Paul from the 80's, long hair, guitar playing(yes, that far back) rock star. I always said back then that he was the guitarist that I wanted to start a band with, but then he bought a bass and joined Strutt. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Brandon, your father was "Da Bomb". He loved you!! At the basketball games, when you got lazy and sloppy, he would yell from the stands "C'mon Brandon!". He wouldn't tolerate it. And when your game was "on", your father displayed a proud silence and a smile. That's what a father does, that's how father's Love. Convicingly, you meant the world to him. Your sister and your mother too.
This world is such a better place with you and your sister in it. Because both of you have your father inside you.
Has I said before Maria.."Anything".
Peace

Dear Levesque Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Paul. I remember Paul fondly from his days with Crystal Fogg back in the 80's. Since his death, I have made the connection that Brandon and Alison are Paul's children. I am a teacher and guidance counselor at Flat River Middle School where Brandon (was) a student (now KOMS). I can assure you that Brandon will have many guardian angels looking out for him in the coming years at Knotty Oak Middle School. (as will Alison at her school). You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Linda Teoli

I worked with Paul at AT&T in Providence, then we met up together again at MetLife after AT&T closed. He was a great guy and friend. I haven't seen him for awhile, but we had some great laughs together. God bless you all during this difficult time.

To Paul's Family: I knew him many many moons ago and was simply stunned when I had heard of his passing. It made me happy to hear that he was still doing something he loved - playing in a band. My prayers and sincerest sympathies go out to his wife and children.

To Paul's family,
I met Paul in 5th Grade (or was it 6th?) and we shared a facination for all things Star Wars (yes, we were geeks). Of course, Paul eventually became "cool" and I remained a geek, but although we sort of went our separate ways, whenever we would see each other he was always the same kid from grammer school - smiling and laughing. So shocked and sorry to hear of his passing.

To Paul's family and many friends: I wish to express my deepest sympathy for this tragic loss.
I will be grateful to have seen Paul the Friday before his passing. We talked about a recent concert at the Living Room that we had both attended. He had seen me there, but I didn't see him. He explained that he had taken his son, and it was his first concert. I asked how old his son is and he said 11. I take great comfort in knowing that Brandon has a very special memory of his dad for the rest of his life.
Paul will be sorely missed by all that have known him.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I have known Paul for years since JR. High, he was a good friend. I have many memories of the good time's we had and although we lost contact with one another through the years, I had always wondered how life was going for him. I am shocked to hear of your loss and wish I was able to say good bye, unfortunately I have just learned of his death today when I was searching the net for information of another that has passed. May god bless Paul, his wife and children, family and friends during this difficult time ........I am so sorry for your loss.

I met Paul in 1992 - 1993, I lived next door to him. From the first time I met him I knew he was a special person. At the time I was young and I just thought he was a really cool guy, but the older I got the more I realized how nice of a guy he was. I really never saw this coming as no one ever does but if any soul deserves to go to heaven it is Paul's soul. I lost my father at the age of 11, and I unfortunately know what his children are about to go through. I hope they can find the strength to carry on as I did as a young boy. I really feel the world lost a good man here, and I am in complete sorrow over his death. Please accept my DEAPEST condolences to his wife and children.

First and foremost, my thoughts and prayers go out to Maria, Brandon and Alison, and the rest of your family and friends...may you find peace in knowing what a good hearted man you had the pleasure of sharing your lives with. I knew the kind of person Paul was just from the few conversations we have had over the years. He always had a presence when he was on that stage and you knew he just loved what he was doing. I'll always remember how excited and proud he was of his newly aquired tatoo that had the names of his children on it. RIP Paul, may you now enlighten the angels that are surrounding you. You will be missed.

Maria, we have to take one day at a time together, I still do that as you know. We all love you and the kids--why these things happen, no one will know. All I do know is god needed two wonderful angels --We all had so many wonderful times and those memories I know you and I will cherish forever. We have to live on especially for our children and help them--that is what Danny and Paul would want and that gets me through some very rough times.
Love you and the kids--

My thoughts and prayers are with Paul's family and friends.He is going to be so deeply missed. He was always such a joy to be around. I worked with Paul at AT&T, and then again at MetLife and use to go see Paul's band play at the West End Cafe and out on Block Island. He always took the time to say "Hello" and always had a gregarious smile to share. His spirit may be quiet now on Earth, but I'm sure he'll be making them smile up in Heaven, now. My deepest sympathies.

Though I never actually met Paul I saw him play with Something Else many times and always enjoyed his stage presence. The fact that he always had a smile on his face showed how much he loved being on stage and entertaining the crowd. We used to goof around with him from the floor at JR's and he was always a good sport and alot of fun. He helped create some great memories and he will be greatly missed. My prayers and good wishes in this time of need go out to Paul's wife and children...God bless all of you!

If you need anything, even just to talk, please do not hesitate to call me.

Maria,
I'm very sorry for your lost of Paul. He was very nice to me, he always took the time to come to our table in Block Island to see how we were, and to see how i was doing in school. The band would take pictures with me. They always played Sweet Home Alabama for me. Then for my birthday the band sang that song for me, and Paul let me sing with him on his microphone. He was very sweet and i will never forget him.
Sincerely,
Brittany

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We only knew Paul through the band. We enjoyed listening to them play. He was a great guy, always taking the time to talk with us on breaks. On two occasions, he even took the time to dance with my 81 year old mother. My mother still talks about that. I will never forget the kindness he showed her. May you and your family find comfort in your memories of Paul.
