Can't believe it was 2018. God bless you all. Fr. Jim

God bless you and your memory, Paul. And all the family.

Dear Catherine, Leah, Abby and Elle,

Words can't express the emotions that exist now. Just pray. My prayers will be with you.

Dear Catherine and family - I am very sad to hear about the passing of Paul. We were really good friends in high school, and had a lot of fun together. It seems like yesterday that I would meet Paul in the Tech High parking lot, throw the skis in my vw, and head to Vermont because there was fresh powder to ski. Please except my condolences during this very difficult time. Paul was a one in a million person who will be missed. Save me a seat on the chair until we meet again buddy !

My condolences to the family. Paul was my cousin. I have many fond memories of him growing up in Springfield. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear catherine, leah,abby,ellie, sorry carol and i cant be there at this time of pain and sorrow. Your husband and father was a great man and will be deeply missed. Love carol and bruce.

I was so very shocked to read of Paul's passing. It was definitely too soon and I am remembering him with you.

When I met Paul 9 years ago, he immediately made me feel comfortable discussing my financial situation and gave me confidence making decisions for my future. Not only was he always available for concerns I might be having, but he knew how to communicate in a way that put me at ease. Beyond the financial relationship we had, he was always interested in what my passions and interests were, helping me to fulfill my giving in those areas. We shared stories about recent trips or activities and when I was in the midst of a serious health issue, he showed such heart felt compassion. I was very touched. I'm sending warm thoughts to his family and to those who knew him better than I.

I'm touched to see that other people had a great experience working with Paul, as I have. Such an intellect, a leader who empowered me and constantly prompted me to grow, and a quiet warmth that would occasionally break out into boisterous mirth to the delight of everyone around. We should all live our lives to the fullest as was his passion! Thanks for everything, Paul.

Paul was the best boss I ever had. I had so much respect for him and learned so much from him. Rest in peace my friend.

I am so very sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I worked for him for 12 years, 1999 through 2010 with an additional year of part timing it. During that time I found him to be a truly good and decent man. He was a gentleman and I am glad I knew him.

Even though I haven't seen him very often these last few years I will miss him, as I'm sure everyone who knew him will.
