Thinking of you tonight…I love you and miss you so much!
Uncle Paul was a great man. I had the pleasure of meeting him on several occasions. I wished we could’ve gotten to know the rest of his family. He was my great uncle, my grandfather is his brother Joe. Rip… You were always fun to be around and told really funny stories.
A beautiful tribute!
