My deepest sympathy to his fiance and the DiMaggio Family, Paul was a great great person, kind and considered, no matter how many times he had to fix my computer, he always did it with a smile and a joke. My prayers are with the entire family that you find comfort and strength knowing that he loved all of you.

I'd like to offer my condolences at this tremendously difficult time. I have fond memories in both Cornwall and Albany and can not recall ever seeing Paul in a bad mood. He was two years older than me but when I joined the tennis team, Paul did not allow his high- profile upperclassmen status to prevent him from offering me support and friendship. I greatly appreciate that to this day. Please accept my deepest sympathies on your profound loss.

To Tracy and the DiMaggio Family ~ I am speechless!..Trac, I know that nothing anyone can say to you right now will help ease your pain, but please keep in mind that Paul died loving you and they do take that love with them. I have once walked in your shoes and I know the empty place it is and all the questions you keep asking and the answers you are NOT getting as to why this all happened. It is a horrible, horrible place for you to be now, but all your family and friends are here for you to guide you thru it...and embrace that!! I know it doesnt seem like it, but it will get easier for you as time goes on, and you will one day find all the answers to your questions! You are constantly on my mind sweetie, and I truly am so sorry for the loss and pain you are feeling! To the Dimaggio family ~ My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you....there is no loss greater than the loss you are all suffering. Keep Pauls love in your hearts and he will show you all how to overcome your grief, and guide you all to a sweeter place in your lives.
