Uncle Paul it's been a year and a half since you met up with Grandma and Grandpa at the gates of heaven. As my sister stated your cooking was impeccable! I'm sure Grandma, Grandpa and your niece Pamela have been enjoying your food. I know that's one of the many things we all miss of you. I Love You and God Bless You Uncle Paul.

Our deepest condolences... Paul's greatest accomplishments could always be measured in what he did for others.
He once told me that it was an honor playing for me... What he, and the entire Demon family don't realize, is that it was my honor to coach them. Paul was not only a great athlete, but a great man.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.

Paul was my first cousin, I used to babysit him and Robert (John), not Pat, he was always out :) I didn't see much of Paul for along time, but I will miss him (as well as all our family since passed). I am so sorry he is not here in body, by he is in our hearts and will be missed.

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again - Unknown

God Bless from Cousin Char Ortiz Marble

I will always remember Uncle Paul's wonderful tasty cooking. He was famous for his impersonations of former President Bill Clinton and John Wayne. He was a great uncle and a diligent son to my grandparents...his parents. I miss him dearly.

Paul we miss you so much. It is still very difficult to accept that you are no longer here with us. God has called you home because He knew how much you missed our Mom and Dad that it became unbearable for you. We will always be grateful to you. We love and miss you so very much. God blessed us with a brother like you. Thank You God for my brother Paul. Your "little" Sister Alice (as you always called me).
