Paul was such a great guy. There was something special about him. He didn’t need to say anything but he would cheer you up just by being in his presence. I will always have the great memories. QHS Football practice we would race each other after each play back to the huddle. Always pushing to get better. I hope he will rest in the eternal peace he so deserves. Val will be missed.

Paul, like me, was a lacrosse official, but more importantly, he was, like me a papa, father, husband, brother who loved his family and friends. He will be missed!
Paul was a co-worker of mine at Madico and he was wonderful to work with. He had a beautiful smile and was always nice to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with Pauls’ family at this time. RIP
The world is a lesser place today, a loss of wonderful human. What a joy he was to be around and the smiles he brought to our faces each day at work. We enjoyed our coffee and lunch breaks, the continuous teasing and jokes, and the joy of walking the golf course together (the best part of our games).
You could never look for a better role model in life than Paul. As a brother lacrosse official, Paul shared so many similar values for life, family, and friendship. His dedication and passion for all that was important to him will be part of his legacy and an inspiration for us all. Paul will live on forever in our heart and thoughts. Rest easy my friend!
Paul was an incredible person with a huge heart. He was one of my favorites among the lacrosse officiating community. We had many talks over a beer, always discussing his family and grandchildren. I fondly recall how excited he was to give his grandson a new bed that he made. It is with great sadness to hear he is no longer with us, the world was a better place with Paul. Please except my prayers and heartfelt thoughts.
I just met Paul last year. I was extremely fortunate to have officiated college lacrosse games with him. He was patient and an incredibly kind man. I learned a lot from him in our few games together. He will be missed. My deepest condolences
Kim and family. So sorry to hear about your loss. My prayers and condolences to you and your family
Paul and I were lax bros together. I had the hair he didn’t. My fondest memory of Paul was a plane trip to Florida years ago. Who do I spy on the plane. Paul! Conversations started and my buddy and I got Paul to ditch his work group and join us for a Tampa Bay Lightning Hockey game. A night full of beers, hockey and laughs. Some of Paul’s biggest passions, besides his family. Paul was family first, as we shared information and wedding spot proposals for our daughters. Hopefully, we will officiate games together up there. You are loved and missed!
I had the pleasure of meeting Paul after the death of his mother, Rosemarie. He attended the 328th C/R Co. Army reunions with his father and was pleasant to be around. My late wife and I were host for the Hospitality Room for years and he was very helpful to us by seeing that the Hospitality Room was ready each day which was a big help to us and also is seeing that the room was in order each night when locking the doors. Paul also was there to help transport those in the group who needed transportation to various events we were attending and did not have cars. Paul was so friendly and all of us dearly loved him. I know his father Chico was so proud of him as Paul gave his Dad so much attention and wanted to be sure he was enjoying himself at the reunions. On behalf of the group, I would like for his family to know that they will be in our prayers and we will always remember Paul.
For over 30 yrs., we had the good fortune to spend a few days with Paul on our annual fishing trip to Cape Cod .
Paul’s joyous personality, timely humor, good-hearted banter, and most of all his wonderful presence, made our fishing days so worthy and pleasurable. ( and so did his fishing outfits)
As we approach our trip this summer, we will dedicate the day to Paul’s memory.
Dear Family, we are so sorry for your loss. Roy and I send you healing prayers, light and love. Paul has been in our prayers for months.
Kim, Heather, Paul, Tracy, George, George, Mike, Joe and Lisa, know that we are with you in your grief.
Love, Lynda and Roy
To Paul’s family; I am sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. He was a great guy and very helpful to “us ole folks” during our reunions. Enjoyed being around Paul. He was a great guy. My prayers are with his entire family.
On behalf of the Sheffield Village board of trustees, we want to remember Paul for his dedication and generosity during the time he served on the board with us. His presence will be missed. Paul was such a pleasure to work with- knowledgable, giving of his time and energy in our condo community, and never sweated the small stuff. As Paul’s next door neighbor as well, I cant say enough about what a great heart and smile he had. Always willing to lend a helping hand or offer some great house maintenance tips!. Kim, my heart and prayers go out to you and your beautiful family. May you celebrate Paul in your heart always.
Kim, Our thoughts and prayers are for you and the beautiful family Paul and you created together. He has left warm memories with everyone lucky enough to know him. Early morning golfing on the Cape will never be the same for Tuggy and Dean.
Dear Kim and family, cousin Paul was such an amazing man he will be missed by everyone. I was so happy and blessed I got to meet him again in 2015 at the Vallatini family reunion.
