    Words are hard to express when someone you love leaves – you’re never ready. Our family has wonderful stories, many fantastic memories and the rememberance of a young at heart, high spirited, good looking man! All my love to our whole family – and especially to Chris, Richie, Lew and Deb. Rest in peace, Uncle Paul – we’ll see you again!
