Paulie tomorrow will be 11 years you left us. I still recount all the little stories of your life to my friends. They hear these little stories and wish they had met you. You live in my heart, son. I am happy for you. You finished your race and now are in the presence of our Lord. Love you. Mom

All kids growing up have heroes. Whether they are comic book heroes or policemen or football players. Mine was Paul. My hero was only 7 years older than me. Paul was the only superhero I'd ever meet and ever have. He'd tell me to punch him in the stomach as hard as I could and as many times as I could. He never flinched when I gave it my all. I watched him bunny hop up a 5ft ledge with a his bike one time. Later, seeing his teeth marks in his steel handlebars on the bike, I knew he was superhuman. Their are so many memories of back at skyline gateway and la paloma, and the fort in the desert across from the 7-eleven. I have a picture of Paul walking on some railroad tracks in Tucson, it's in black and white and it's one of my favorites. Paul art, is the best medium out there. Every state I travel to or country I visit, I do something Paul, then I say a small prayer. I try to accomplish as many things as you did. I can never come close to being as awesome, but I will carry on the Paul tradition. Example: living in your friends apartment with a tent, a guitar, and one worn out shoe. Caution: Paul-logic not always the best-haha

Palie; Today it's been 4 years since you left us!! I know in my heart you are in a better place and I am extremely proud of you for finishing your race in such a graceful way. Yet, there is not a moment I don't stop missing you! I love you, Paulie with all my heart!!!! Mom

Paul was the nicest, sweetest, most honest person. God always takes the best first. Paul was always concerned for others. I have the greatest memories of him - he was so fantastic. I am so sorry he is gone :(.

I keep thinking I see Paul in crowds and on the street. It makes my heart so sad to know he is not here with us. I hope Diana is holding up and Just know Paul is still is still in all of our hearts. He was truly a wonderful person who had the gift of making everyone around him feel just as wonderful.

i am not sure why pauls name came to my mind recently, as it has been years since our paths have crossed, 10 almost. I was simply looking him up to see if he had a facebook or myspace, just to check in. I am stunned. I knew paul from the bank i worked at and still know his account number by heart, after all these years. our interactions were brief, but meeting him changed my life in several ways. if it were not for the brief time i had with paul, my life would be drastically different. he was the catalyst for a lot of much needed change in my life and i think of that and of him often. I am saddened and grieved to see now that he is gone. I can only hope that he has touched so many other lives like he had briefly touched mine. to the family he left behind, i am truly sorry for you loss. he was a truly special person. thank you for everything you did for me paul, i only hope you know what an impact you had on me.

You're gonna be missed good buddy, I can't believe you're gone. You were such a great guy. I don't think I've ever met someone that was so happy and had so much life in them. Goodbye Paul

¿Cómo decirte adios si aún teníamos tanto q vivir?
¿Cómo dejarte partir , si te voy a extrañar tanto?
¡Cuántos recuerdos juntos!,
Crecimos de la mano,
Corriendo por los parques,
trepando árboles,
comiendo maracuyas,
escapando de los abejorros,
jugando con Aarón
llenando la canchita de fronton con agua,
resbalándonos por las escaleras,
aprendiendo a patinar,
a montar bicicleta,
con miles de caidas,
moretones,
dientes rotos y risas.
Cantando en los viajes,
con tu cassete de los Rolling stons
a todo pulmon
en el mustang de mi papá....
Separaciones,
encuentros,
ya de grandes,
pero siempre niños.
Ahora tu manejabas
Juntos a toda velocidad
en New Oleans
gritando en mardi grass,
rodeados de locuras,
tantos sueños,
bailes,
y más risas
girando agarrados de la mano con los Gipsy Kings.
Eres un gran ejemplo,
tu fortaleza es única.
los segundos fueron cortos,
no pude despedirme de ti,
no te pude decir buen viaje.
Lo siento tanto.
Se que ahora estás allá arriba sonriendo,
al lado del abuelito Oscar,
mandale un abrazo ¿si?
Deseo de todo corazón,
que te conviertas en mi angel guardián,
tú arriba cuidándome,
yo acá abajo segura.
Se que cada vez que quiera verte,
podré cerrar mis ojos
y estarás aqui dentro,
en mi corazón,
eternamente niños y felices.
Como aquellas navidades
cuando nos escondíamos para abrir nuestros regalos
antes de las 12.
Te amo paul, no sabes como te voy a extrañar.
Espéranos allá arriba,
siempre con aquella gran sonrisa.

Dear Precious Paul,
There's a saying " You are not dead until you are forgotten ", I believe that, and I believe you will live on forever in the hearts of those who knew and love you. There's also a song that says " Maybe he's an angel sent here from heaven and he's making certain that we're doing our best, to take the time to love one another, brother are you gonna pass that test......" That song was about you! You have touched so many lives in the short time you spent here on Earth. You came down to sew peace and love in so little time. You did your job and you completed your mission with grace and elegance. I know our Father has rewarded you a tri-fold for the great job you did on Earth, my prayer for those you left behind is that they be filled by the Holy Spirit with the confirmation that your spirit lives on and that you are now on a higher plateau, waiting to greet those worthy of joining you in Our Father's kingdom. Waiting as always,with your beautiful smile and your heart full of joy. I pray they will make the most of the time they have left on this world the same way you did, by sewing peace and love to everyone they meet. By lending a hand to those that need it, by taking an extra minute from their day to do or say something nice to lift the spirits of those who need it, just like you did! By making every day count, remembering that once a day is gone, it's gone forever and so is the opportunity to make a difference in someones life! Thank you precious angel. Thank you for allowing us to know you. Thank you for a job well done, bravo!!

Paul's birth was a much anticipated event in our office and my, what a darling boy he was! Carla was a beaming mom while we all felt somewhat like "aunties'! I'll never forget his bright eyes full of life-- a special child indeed, this one! Father, may you always be with Paul's family and those his life touched.

I just want let all know that I just found this site and feel the need to thank you all for your entries. As Pauls father I always tried to inspire him, after reading your thoughts here and meeting his friends in Tucson, and hearing some of the stories shared at that time, I am the one who has been inspired. Again thank you all and thanks for Paul. The lives he touched are his promise to allways be among us.

I was in Jr. High with Paul and when I heard of his passing my heart sank. He was always a free spirit, his own person and a true friend. Although I have not spoken to him in a while i will never forget him. He was a wonderful person.

There was something about Paul. I just really liked him from the moment I met him. Our friendship was limited, but I never saw him when I didn't greet him with a hug, as he did for me.
Some of my most fun times were spent sitting with Paul and Diana just making silly, funny jokes about the way old telephones smell, or how to purposely mispronounce words.
I will say that knowing Paul and Diana has affected me, and they both have inspired me to be more proactive with my own life.
I ended up on a plane with both of them just a couple of weeks ago. When Paul saw me he smiled so broadly and jumped up to change his seats soe that he, Diana and I could sit together.
We laughed the whole flight.
I will miss you Paul. You definitely were a blessing on this Earth!
Love
Scotty

Paul was truly one of a kind; a person who radiated love, sincerity, friendship and if nothing else, a love of life. While the world has truly lost one of its genuine spirits, I know that Paul will live on in all of the people he came into contact with - any moment with Paul was always a memorable and fascinating time in each of our lives. He will be missed greatly by so many. May he rest in peace.

Paul was an amazing person and was there for me in many of the big moments in my life...when I turned 16 we drove around in my first car-him laughing that I drove "like a girl", when I graduated from high school he greeted me and my friends with his rendition of "Oh, Donna" substiting our names in for Donna, when I turned 18 and 21 we toasted life and there were more songs, when I graduated from college he came up to San Diego full of support with his cowboy hat, aviator glasses, and a smile. Paul was a great
friend, full of passion for music, sports, knowledge, and life. He was an inspiring person teaching us to be brave, follow our hearts, and live without reservation. I will miss him dearly. No one could sing Blue Moon like he could. Or listen to you without judgement. Or give you comfort by not saying anything. Or know how to make eveyone feel special and included. Diana, Carla and Anderson family-you are all in my thoughts and prayers. It has been an honor to be Paul's friend and to be part of his journey. I will always remember him with a song in his heart.

Carla, I am so sorry for your loss. I know some time has gone by since Paul and I had been in contact but he was never out of my heart.He will forever live on as ''The Fox!'' He will no longer be in pain, he will always be young, and handsome and all of us that were lucky enough to have known, and loved him are better off for having him, no matter how briefly, in our lives. Your family will be in my prayers. With Love, Jillian

I grew up with Paul and was great friends with him for over 15 years. I have so may memories of him and can talk about him for hours. What can I say without writing a novel. I'll miss him so much and he will always remain in my heart. God bless you Paul. You friend- always

Anderson Family,
Paul was my Chemo Hero. I met Paul in the chemo room at AZ Oncology last year. I started my chemo scared and confused. Paul befriended me as well as others in our chemo world. Having Paul there was an inspiration and a gift I am forever grateful for. My prayers are with you and with Paul.

Dear Special Loved Ones of Paul,
I always enjoyed our interactions when Paul was in his teens. As a mom of a good friend of Paul's, I noticed that he had a truly adventurous spirit, musical and poetic talents, and a great smile.
I will miss him very much. May peace and love support you all, Paul's family and friends. There is a huge tear in all of our eyes.
Peace,
Maria N.

Paul was genuine, kind, and much-loved by everyone who knew him. In every single memory I have of him, Paul is smiling or laughing; he truly brightened any setting. As such, I believe he will always shine brightly in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved him. I will truly miss Paul.

Querida Carla, para ti siempre el amor de una Madre es tan especial y nunca muera. Quiero darte mi apoyo en este momento tan doloroso. En calquier dia si te encuentras sola llame' alquien, por que hablando de tu Paul te ayudara conquistar un poco el dolor. Te extendo un fuerte abrazo. God bless you Carla, my ph # 520-749-5914. Larry so many years have passed and this is not a way I would have chosen after so many years to communicate with you again. I am so very sorry. Take care of yourself and God Bless. May you and your family find some peace. Paul was a very special person. I only talked with him once but he impressed me."Death be not proud today."
Love,

From the first day I met Paul at 12 years old until his last day with us, I never witnessed him perform an unkind act. He extended a hand of friendship to everyone who crossed his path. He treated every single person with kindness and a smile. He was never cruel. He never hurt those around him. He was loyal to his friends. We will never forget him, and we will never know another like him.
