I loved sitting around a fire listening to Paul telling stories. He was always great gentleman who will surely be missed in my neighborhood.

I worked with Paul at Chandler Street junior high from 1966-75. He was an excellent teacher and a great colleague. He always had a sense of humor, a necessary quality for anyone who's ever taught school in Worcester.

Such a great person. So kind and fun. Always made me laugh. I'm forever grateful for all the times he let me stay with him and his family in Maine. Thanks Paul. You will be missed.
