Our deepest Condolences to Pauls family and friends I have great memories of Paul from going to school together to being neighbors playing sports together when we were kids and when my cousin Domenica married his brother Joe it all continued to family gatherings at Christmas and New Years some of the best memories of my life .He always knew how to make us laugh .He will be missed by everyone.
Please accept my deepest condolences to Toni and Julian at this very difficult time! My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Rest in peace Paul.
Please accept my thoughts and condolences at this time. I had the good fortune to teach Paul when we were at Philip Pocock Secondary School. I remember him to be a kind, honest, and light-hearted man. When we reconnected, he told me that he wanted to thank me for something-for letting him sneak in his breakfast, to our first period English class. It seems like something so small, doesn’t it? But it clearly wasn’t to him, and tell me this “years” later speaks to the kind of man he was. He never took anyone for granted. Paul was an all-around good person who will be missed by all. Rest in Peace, “Lionel” -a nickname we had for him in the ’80s.
Words fail to express our deep sorrow for your entire family’s loss. Paul will forever be remembered as the wonderful guy that won my dear friend Toni’s heart, becoming her husband and later the amazing father to their son Julian. He will forever be missed by everyone who knew him. Rest in Peace Paul.

You’ll always be remembered for your contagious laugh and smile and your pure heart and soul. You were taken from us too soon. rest peacefully, Zio. We love you and miss you so much.

I wish to convey my condolences and respect for Paul and his family. Paul always had kind words and we chatted up in the school office when he was bringing Julian his lunch. I have always remembered him. Olh school secretary, Carolyn.

I was so shocked to hear of Paul’s passing. Although our last names are slightly similar, we are not related, but quickly became good friends because in our 12th year in high school, we shared lockers along with another dear friend, Joe.
Paul always had a laugh and a smile that lit up a room, and it didn’t hurt that he resembled Lionel Richie back then – thanks Mary Ross for reminding me of that.
Paul and I recently got reconnected as we discovered we ran in the same work circle – promotional products – and figured it’s been almost 25 years since we last saw each other…..
Toni, Julian, I don’t know of the right words to say….but treasure every memory of Paul and know that he lives on, in spirit, in your son and in your heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers….
When I heard on Sunday might heart hurt. Me and Paul go back to our high school days. I was a shy and not so popular kid, but Paul always brought me into the group. Teaching me how to play Italian cards and sticking up for me when someone was picking on me , he was there for me. We reconnected on FB and sent some messages back and forth even not so long ago. Like many of us we all say we going to get together and we just never did. To the family as you know Paul is such an exceptional person and Heaven must of needed him. I can remember him bringing me half of an Italian sandwich for lunch, man was it good and that was half I was full for a week. God bless thinking of you.
I knew Paul in high-school. I was so saddened to hear this shocking news. My heart goes out to you Toni and your son Julian at this time of grief. My prayers are with you.
Our Sincere Condolences to All of the Family
Especially Mary, Joe and Gabe…
We had GREAT childhood memories …
Even though we lost touch…our special memories will never be forgotten…
Please accept my deepest condolences, Toni, Julian and all of Paul’s family. Paul was often at my home as a teenager and I remember him with such fondness, always respectful and always a pleasure when he came around. Rest with the angels Paul.

Although I didn’t know Paul personally I knew and felt his spirit and his energy in the hallways of Philip Pocock. He had the ability to light up a classroom with so much zest for life. Always made his views known and respected other’s opinions. He always had a smile on his face. I’m very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you in this difficult time.
