Paul helped me as a mentor when I was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in 2016. He gave me encouragement and much more. Thankfully I am still alive today. Paul's kind words and thoughtfulness I will never forget.

Dear Kathleen and family,
My son and I were so shocked and saddened to read of Paul's recent passing. He was certainly a wonderful person, and a friend to so many. I will never forget how kind he was to me after my husband's death in the matter of settling his business. May you be blessed by all the wonderful memories you must have of him. His place in heaven is well earned.
Sincerely,
Marjorie Smith

Dear Kathy and family, We were shocked to read of Paul's passing. What a loss he will be to all of you but also to the town of Stonington and his many other relatives and friends. Don't think he ever met a person he didn't consider a friend. Deepest sympathy. Joe and Carole Cravinho from Pearland, Tx.

Dear Kathleen and Family,
Please accept our sincerest condolences on the passing of Paul. I saw him occasionally at the town hall and we always had pleasant conversation. That was before his retirement.
I never met a man who was more dedicated to family, friends, job, and the Town of Stonington. More recently, he unselfishly helped me with a situation concerning my sisters estate. For that I will be forever grateful. The community has lost a truly great advocate of the people.
May he Rest In Peace.

Deepest condolences to the Cravinho family. Paul was one of the few mentors I have found throughout my life and has been positively influential in many ways. He was the type of guy that when he spoke, you wanted to listen. He will be greatly missed. He also married my wife and I in his backyard.......

We were so saddened to hear the news of Judge Paul Cravinho's passing. He was the Treasurer of the Probate Assembly when I was President Judge from 2006 to 2008 and I have many fond memories, including of our officer's dinners. For many years, we savored the Sergio Franchi Memorial Concert on the lovely Franchi Estate with Paul and his family. He was a brilliant man with a huge heart and we will miss him terribly.

Thinking of the Cravinho family and sending my deepest condolences. My Mom worked for Judge Cravinho, I hadn't seen him in years, but over the past year I enjoyed chatting with him at the gym. I will always think of him pushing the sled at the gym, impressive! Rest in peace, Judge. Sincerely,

Paul helped me at two of the lowest points in my life; when my wife died in 2010 and when I was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer last year. I will never forget his kindness and his caring and encouraging words. He was a wonderful friend. God Bless him.
