My sincere condolences to Paul’s family. So sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Paul’s laugh was contagious. Never mad, always happy. One of his best friends said it best, “Paul didn’t fight anything, he didn’t battle any habits or demons, he didn’t regret, he just did what he wanted to do. He looked forward and not backward.”
When Paul often would come to visit he spoke very deeply about his family. Family such as his nephews/niece and Meghan and Fiona whom he adored. He made us laugh all the time! He and Russell (my husband) worked hard together and played hard together. Never a bad word between the 2 of them. Paul would always look at me and say “I love that guy” about Russ. We miss you and love you dearly Paulie. See you on the other side.
My deepest sympathy to Joyce and family!!
Many prayers and thoughts 🙏🙏🤗🤗
We are so sorry to hear of your loss Linda and Joyce and ALL of Paul’s loved ones. You have our deepest condolences. May God’s strength, peace and comfort be with you. God bless.
Paul was a Junior when I was a freshman at ECC. He was always welcoming and took me under his wing by welcoming me to the men’s team and mentoring me on how to race. I am indebted to him for boosting my confidence, pushing me during workouts and races, and having so many laughs along the way! He will be missed. My condolences and prayers to the family.
