I worked with Paul for many years when I was Administrative Assistant at The First Church. He was a wonderful man. Always ready with a kind word. We shared a lot of laughter and happy times. He was dedicated to taking care of First Church and was a loyal staff member. My deepest sympathy to your family. He loved you all so much.

Paul ♥️ I was honored to be your hospice nurse. I will always remember your morning greetings and bright smile. I will miss seeing you outside walking the parking lot and I will think of you every time I eat a rice crispy treat. Rest in sweet peace- finally reunited with Gloria 💖 My sympathies to Carl, Barbara - family and friends.

To the family and all who knew Paul…..even for a short time, Paul left nothing but positive footprints on everyone’s soul. I was one of his Hospice nurses and feel as though he was an angel on earth. Paul, you are now FINALLY with your bride!! I hope to see you and laugh with you someday (again) ❤️🙏🏼

I worked at Nashua Corp. as a Fork Lift Operator as Paul did. Nashua was a very good company to work for. I was there 28 years and Paul 40. We were both able to support our family by working there. Before you leave this earth find JESUS and hang on to him!

Dear Lord, we ask that You comfort the family our dear uncle Paul left behind. Grant them the fortitude to bear the loss. Please help them to know that the deceased is in the highest place, where there is no pain, sorrow, and worry. We pray they understand that he’s above, watching over them with a bright smile like the rising sun. Let the beautiful memories they share live in their hearts and be a beaming light in this dark moment. We ask these through our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. “Rest in peace” Uncle Paul

Uncle Paul, you always knew how to make everyone smile and laugh. I will miss your stories and hugs. I know you’ve been wanting to be with Aunt Gloria and Charlene, and I’m glad you’re not suffering and now home with the ones you love. I have always loved sharing a birthday with you and I’ll make sure to celebrate for the both of us. Love and miss you forever and always.
