God must have needed a man of pure heart. That was Paul, a gigantic heart walking around on two legs. He leaves behind so much love spread around wherever he went. My condolences to all the family. In the pain of his loss, may you also be able to feel the love he shared so generously with all during his life.

There's only a small percentage of people who we meet in life that always seem to be in a great mood; friendly to all. Uncle Pauly was one of those people. He could always light up a room, bar or beer garden with his contagious spirit. You'll be missed bud.
