Maryanne-
I cant explain what I am feeling right now. I cant imagine what you are going through. Paul always spoke of you fondly and I know that he loved you alot. I worked for him and Jimmy for 15 years and he was always good to me albeit a bit stubborn. Im sorry I wasnt able to express my greatest sympathy to you in person and to say goodbye to my friend, Paul Sullivan.

My uncle Paul always told it like it was. Anytime in my 20's that I needed some advice without a lot of smoke and mirrors, I came to see him for dinner. He was generous, and kind. He was also very private, which made it sometimes hard to know him when I moved to the West Coast. He wouldn't get email! He never met his great nieces, my daughters, and for this I am very sad, but Venice is named after his mom, and Augusta is named after his dad Frank's mother's mother, so the family legacy lives on in the East Bay. We will always remember you for Hawaii, Paul. We love you. Kimberly O'Hara, Mark Poggi and Venice and Augusta Poggi

Although I hadn't seen him in many years, I remember Paul being a very sweet man, much like his Mom. It's nice to know that they will see each other again now.
