Paul and I worked together at Windsurfer/ Facebook in Burlingame. We used to hide and eat lunch in the building even though the GC warned if they catch anyone, they'd get fired. He always talked about his family and how he couldn't wait to retire 2021 so he could help his dad. He also talked about all his friends and you could see his spirit lift when he talked about them. I will always treasure talking to you my friend.

My condolences to the Cafini Family, Paul and I met in HS when my best friend Ivan transferred to Cap. He was a fellow wrestler, a good friend and we had shared some great times together. We re-connected not too long ago after not seeing each other for quite some time. We talked about life, kids, family and staying in touch. You will be missed, love you brother.

Paul and I were high school wrestling teammates and close friends off the mat. We lost touch over the years but occasionally ran into each other and immediately reconnected. My condolences to the entire Cafini family!

Paul and I grew up in the same neighborhood and I remember him as a kid. We were friends then and became closer in high school and shared the same sport of Wrestling. Paul was a great wrestler and we had some good times. We lost touch over the years and when we did see each other we had good talks about family and how things were doing. I will miss him and will honor him by being there for his family. God bless you brother and Rest In Peace!
