On this 5th anniversary of Paul's passing, I must say that Paul was a pleasure to work with -- he and I were on the same Postal Inspection Service team in San Francisco many years ago. May Paul's memory continue to be a blessing to his family and friends.

Worked with Paul at the USPS and am truly shocked at his passing. What a great warm fun loving guy. We occasionally talked about our Vietnam experiences!My deepest condolences to the family. The world has lost a great person.

Paul was a wonderful man who was never ostentatious and eternally humble. we had a very deep and long conversation after Mass at St. josephs when I last saw him a year ago. He gave me a lowdown on his life and love of his family. he is resting on the highest perch as he was a giver never a taker. On this Veterans Day Paul your fellow cheerleader from Lincoln High salutes you. Terry Smith
