Was sad to hear of the passing of Paul. He was a very friendly, fun loving gentleman. Always enjoyed chatting with him at the YMCA and whenever I would run into to him. Our love and prayers go out to the family.

Paul, Theresa, and Family, So sorry to hear about Paul's passing. Ironically, I saw him on August 19th, at a distance, at Allegheny Valley Hospital as
I was visiting a patient there. I think it was the first time we did not have a conversation about our lives and his travels because we were going in different directions that day. He was always entertaining at CVS and I really enjoyed speaking with him. Sometimes you realize that some people are just special, and he was truly one of those individuals. Love to you all at this difficult time as I know he is St.Peter's travel agent, planning a European excursion or a trip to Vegas.
