    Dear Nancy, So sorry to hear about Paul's passing. I always enjoyed bumping into him at the bank. I remember when he would fix my computer often when I worked at Bayside. He was always so friendly. Rest in peace Paul

    We are going to miss you Uncle Paul, I attribute my love for playing the guitar to you. I still have the picture of me as a young kid sitting on your bed in your apartment with your acoustic guitar that I couldn't play bc my hands were too small. I will miss sneaking away to jam during our family get togethers, and of course your humor. Thankful for all our memories, rest easy uncle Paul, love ya.

    Paul will be dearly missed. Always quick to joke around, have fun and enjoy life. Trips to the Caribbean, the Vineyard, and the West Coast. He was so lucky to meet Nancy, who was his partner and best friend. Good bye friend. Mark Folino

    Paul, thank you for 21 amazing years. You are now at peace. No more appointments, needles or poison. So thankful we were able to travel to Europe in October. I never saw such determination. Thank you for always being in a good mood and for all your logical advice, which I didn't always listen to, but the truth is, you were usually right. You were a joy to live with. You never complained about anything. I will never forget you. Love, Nancy
