Dear Sue, I am so sorry to hear this. He always seemed like such a sweet guy from hearing you talk about him. I remember in one of our conversations, you said you'd have learned Polish for Paul. I am very sorry for your loss.

Dear Sue, We are so sorry for your loss. Paul was much too young and vibrant to leave us. We will cherish the time we spent together in September. I will never watch a Red Sox game again without thinking of him and all the great text messages we shared during games. From our days at UMass Lowell when he helped us with our programming homework, through our bike trip on Block Island, to the Hollis Fair, Paul was witty, charming, kind, smart, and a treasured friend. Our hearts are with you.

Sue, I am so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful, interesting gentleman Paul was. I did not know much about Paul, but if he was anything like you, then the world is surely a sadder place without him. May his journey be a sweet one, and may he rest in peace.

What cruel blows are metered out for the kindest hearts. I remember Paul as being one the kindest hearts; I'm so sorry Sue. I have fond memories of many years @ DEC working with him, and of course at Ray's gatherings. I wanted to ride with Paul and that never happened - got busy and thought we had more time. I'm so so sorry Sue.

Sue, I have so many wonderful memories of Paul and you and all the lively dinners and conversations and laughter we shared over the years!! I first met Paul in the little orchestra formed at The Community Music School in Nashua and through his acquaintance, met you! Paul was a very warm and caring man, a loving husband, and a good friend. He will be missed by all who knew him. My prayers for God's comfort and peace as you go forward in this journey.

Dear Susan, I was so saddened to hear of the death of your husband. Paul sounds like a remarkable man. I can only imagine how you will miss him. I will keep you in my prayers as you grieve for him.

Dear Sue, I was very saddened to hear of Paul’s passing. Jack and I were saying that we never saw you without Paul or him without you and when we talked to him he was always filled with the gift of joy. He was always happy and it was a great pleasure to know him. What a wonderful way to be remembered.
