Paul was such a caring man he helped everyone he could and was always so proud to talk about his family... he will truly be missed!!!
Paul was my first cousin. After Aunt Helen (my father's sister), Uncle Matty, Martin and Paul left NJ years ago we lost touch. Ours is one of those disfunctional families. I have seen Martin over the yrs and email LaVelle to keep up with Martin's health but never got to contact Paul. I wish I had. I suppose I thought I would surpise him if I ever got to Florida and had the nerve to knock on his door. I am so very sorry he's gone. Lois
Dobber, Tammie, Sherrie & Jack,
Your Daddy was a special man that loved his children more than anything in this world. We know you are hurting and wish we could ease the pain. We can keep you in our prayers and tell you that we will all be togather again someday. We are here for you anytime. We love you all!
Tammie and Dobber, my heart goes out to you. Your father was an amazing man and there will never be another like him. He brought so much joy to my life the past 21 years and he is going to be missed for years to come. I loved your father not only as a "dad" but mostly as my best friend and companion. I share in your grief and want you to know I am here if you need anything. We were all so very lucky to have shared our lives with him. God has him now, but we still have the memories. Please keep in touch.
To Paul's family, my deepest sympathies for your loss. I will never forget the memories of working with Paul on the police department and how he made me laugh. He was one-of-a-kind and touched the lives of everyone who knew him. This truly is a loss and he will be remembered always.
PAUL & TAMMIE - I WISH I HAD WORDS THAT COULD MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER. I WISH I COULD ERASE LAST SATURDAY. PAUL WAS A GREAT DAD TO YOU BOTH, LOVING GRANDFATHER, GREAT FATHER-IN-LAW AND DEAR FRIEND TO MANY. HE WILL BE SO DEEPLY MISSED. WE ARE HIS FAMILY AND WE HAVE EACH OTHER TO GET THRU ALL THIS. I AM TRULY SORRY. PAUL, AS YOUR WIFE, I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU. TAMMIE, THE SAME FOR MY SISTER-IN-LAW. LOVE YOU BOTH.
To Tammie & family
My deepest condolences for your family. May God provide you the strength and love to go through this difficult time. I will be here if you need me.
My deepest condolances. When I joined the Tampa Police Department in 1978 Paul was the first "Cop" I rode with. He was the first "Cop" to call me "PARTNER". As long as I have a pulse and air in my lungs I will remember the lessons he taught me. His wisdom, humor, and good common sense followed me through my 28 year career. Thank You Paul !
Tammie & Alex, So sorry to hear of your loss. If there's anything I can do, please let me know. I will be praying for you and all of the family members.
Regards, Susan
