Ed and family, Our deepest sympathies to all of you. May God bless you during this difficult time. Sincerely, Bill and Mary Ann
You surely will be missed Paul!!! You were the kindest, thoughtful, most generous and loving young man. You would go out of your way to help your family & friends. You, being you…could only be in one place. And that is, in Heaven?. They say, the good die young, and I know that to be true!!! You will always remain in my heart with the fondest memories, I love and miss you, Paul. Rest in Peace.
My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Paul. I’m going to miss this guy, I’m very lucky to have been able to develop a friendship over the past 10 years with Pauly. His sarcastic sense of humor always gave me a good laugh, a real joy to be around. I also knew that anytime I needed a friend to help I could count on Pauly. I know he was thrilled when I told him I had a piece of furniture to move and that one piece ended up being an entire bedroom set and dining room set, he had some choice words (jokingly of course) but was happy to help!!! Thanks for the friendship Pauly, you’re going to be greatly missed my friend. Leidy

Please accept our sincere condolences. We pray that your cherished memories bring you comfort in the days ahead. May Paul’s soul Rest In Peace. A. Jan and U. Ed

Dear Ed and family, The first thing that comes to mind is "The strife is o’er, the battle won". I know how long your family dealt with Paul’s struggles. It is not easy by any means. I would like to be with you but I just can’t get out to the funeral home today. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay close, hold tight to one another. God bless your family and may Paul rest in eternal peace. Claire
