I have great memories of Paul from my childhood. I was at his house more than my own. I grew up with his whole family. I remember the clam boils we had in the summer and really enjoyed them a lot. I wish I could have gotten up to RI more but living in Florida and now Tennessee is far to travel at my age. Rest in peace my friend and my deepest condolences to Jackie and Claire.

I met Paul at the family clam bake. He had just come home from being in the service. He made me feel like family right from the start. Rolo and Paul always had a good time when they were together. Paul had a gentle heart. Rest In Peace Paul. Jackie my deepest sympathy to you, Austin, and Luke. May your memories of Paul bring your heart peace.

Sad to learn of my cousin Paul's passing. He was a quiet man who lived a good life. Oh the times we shared esp. the clam bakes at his parent's home. May he rest in peace with Our Lord. Prayers going out to Jackie, her children and family.

Paul was one of the nicest people I've ever known and he will be dearly missed. I will always have fond memories of swimming in the pool at night under the lights when I was a kid. Later in life we enjoyed making pizzas from scratch and none of them ever came-out good but that wasn't the point. He was always good to me. Rest in peace, Paul, and I hope to see you again on the other side.
