My condolences to the DeLorenzo Family. Paul was the first person I met in the foodservice equipment industry and he made an impression on me that has kept in in this business my entire life. Paul came out to visit my father on business in 1964, and stayed at our house. My sister had to give up her bed, so that Paul could have a place to sleep.Back then, business was personal. With Paul, everything was personal.Relationships are everything.I remember the stories of the helicopter, and the Cessna airplane, and a lot of good memories.

I worked with Paul @ Delfield in Detroit & Mt. Pleasant along with Randell Mfg. and I will miss him. Paul helped me and my family when we moved to Mt. Pleasant and will never be able to thank him enough. A wonderful and faithful person and a smart mind. Paul will be missed. Condolences to The DeLorenzo families for their loss. Paul will be back home again where it started, may he rest in peace.
