Cindy, Amanda & Sarah…. My deepest sympathy to you all… Paul was such a great guy, always willing to lend a hand, always with a smile and a great sense of humor… He will be very sadly missed… Cindy & Tracy
Cindy, Amanda and Sarah, I am so sorry for your loss and I have been thinking of you. My grandpa gives his deepest sympathy too, he remembers Paul well.
Cindy, Amanda and Sarah, I am so sorry for your loss. Know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers at this very tough time.
Cindy, Amanda and Sarah, we’re so sorry to hear about Paul. He was such a fun loving man. He was always trying to pull something over on me. He would call and pretent to be someone else but after a couple minutes I would figure out that it was him. We’ll miss seeing him, and his pranks. He truly was a special man!
Your in our thoughts and prayers.
Dad,
I don’t know what else to say but that I don’t understand how you could be gone and that I’ll never see you again. How you’re not going to see Kiley grow up or Sarah’s baby grow up. How you’re not going to be there when I call and you’ll harrass me for 20 minutes. How you’re not going to be there when I need you. I don’t understand! I love you so much and will miss you every minute of every day. Rest in peace knowing that we’ll take care of Mom.
Dear Cindy, Amanda and Sarah:
We are so sorry for the loss of someone who loved his family so much. We will always treasure Paul’s unconditional caring and generosity. There was never anything that Paul would not do for us or anyone else. May God give you the peace knowing that he is in God’s heavenly home, Paul’s journey is complete.
I will miss you Paul. The greatest things in life always seem to leave us too soon. I will always have the many memories going back to the 4th grade. May you have everlasting peace.
My Dearest Paulie,
How will I go on without you? You left me much too soon with lost dreams and unfulfilled promises of how our life was to be together. You were the very best husband, father and friend anyone would want or ask for. You brought all of the people you came in contact with so much joy and happiness with your generosity of spirit, willingness to help anyone in need and your quirky sense of humor. I will never forget our life together – it was the best!! Thank you for being my husband, friend and my better half. Be at peace my love knowing I will always love you and wait for me on the other side. Your loving wife forever and ever Cindy.
I am very sorry you lost yoir husband, he was my father and I never got a chance to see him after my mom moved us from NY. If you are willing to talk to me please email me, I would really like to get to know you all. seannasoto@gmail.com
Our deepest sympathy goes to each of you during this time. Know that you are all in our prayers.
With love,
Jeff, Marylou, Kayla and Jeanne Vanslette
Paul was a great friend that I wish I knew all my life. He always had a positive outlook no matter what the situation may be. Paul was a great individual who thought of others before himself and he was always quick with a smile that made you smile. Paul was always there for me and I hope that I was there for him. I’m going to miss him everyday.
Paul, I miss you so much. your jokes, your pranks,but most off all I miss that wonderful smile. Jus know that I love you and someday we will be together again.
Paul,
It has taken me a week to get the courage to do this. You will be missed greatly. You were a wonderful brother and I will never forget what you did for Mark. You gave him the start he needed. I love you and miss you.
Love,
Joanne

Hello do you remember me? I am Cici your brothers first daughter, I would like to know my family.
seannasoto@gmail.com please someone contact me.
We have very fond memories of Paul when we first moved into our new home. We would come home from work on cold snowy days to find our driveway plowed. Whenever we thanked him for a job well done his words to us were ‘neighbors must take care of neighbors.’ He never let us down. We will miss seeing him work in his yard and waving hello everytime he drove by our house. Paul was a great friend and neighbor. We will really miss and his kind words. Rest in peace my friend.
I never got the chance to know you Dad. The last time I saw you was probably when I was about 3 or 4 in my grandma’s yard on Fern St. Ive been looking for you. I found you sadly. Love always your oldest daughter cici.
