Dear Leslie & family,
I am so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I was in town last month and went by to see him at the house, but no one was home.
Paul was someone I remember from my earliest years (I think before 1st grade), just because we lived so close. I'll continue to keep you all in my prayers.

"When you were born you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice."

We cry.

We didn't know your family that well, but Roger and Paul had a bond through Dr. Howe.

We were always happy to see Paul outside mowing the lawn or just sitting outside watching the world go by. We would wave and he would always wave back. It always made our day!

Our deepest sympathies and may God hold all of you in the palm of His Hand.

We want you to know how blessed we feel to have known Paul. He was an outstanding example of Catholic man carrying and nurturing the ones he loved and the gifts he had.

May you find peace knowing he is without pain and at Eternal Rest.
