I met Paul in first grade and we remained friends through out the years. Even as i have moved over the years, Paul was always a constant friend in my life. Paul was always there when I came back to Delaware and we always caught up with each other. Paul and I went to Prom together and have always remained friends. My prayers are with Paul’s mother and family. If there is anything i can do for you, please let me know. My Friend you will always be in my heart.

I am so sorry to learn of Paul’s passing. He was a friend from DelCastle and via Five Points and contact via Facebook. I will miss our chats. My deepest sympathy to the family.

I was saddened to hear of Paul’s passing. As a honorary member of Five Points Fire Company, I remember Paul fondly. Paul took to heart the message that you had to “show up” when needed. He certainly did that. Recent surgery kept me from attending his services, but my thoughts and prayers are with his entire family. Please accept my most sincere condolences.
