My sincere condolences to Paul’s family. He’s left us way too young, RIP Paul. You’ll be missed by many.

You have always been there for your family. I have a memory when you and Donnie would play leading the blind and purposely run me into a mail box while you guys were getting Rosie and me from elementary school. You have always been and will always be my big brother. You always made time for me when I came to visit. You loved with your heart to your whole family. I love you and you will be so missed.
Paul was never considered to be my nephew he was always my little brother.I .had just turned 10 when he was born.I had the opportunity to grow up with him. As a baby he lived in my bedroom his crib was next to my bed.I loved him the moment I saw him.He had a smile that lit up the room.He was a good baby and as he grew up he lived with us.He used to go to the flea market with me and my mom.He was a natural he would walk around the flea market and sell my mom’s stuff 😁 One time mom had some dressers for sale and he sold them too cheap but my mom couldn’t get mad at him because he was such a good person and his smile would just melt her. Paul was very laid back and even as an adult he would never hurt anyone. He was kind and generous ❣️ Paul I love you and I will miss you 💝 Aunt Jean and family
Thank you aunt Jeanie. That meant a lot to us.
