I was saddened to hear about your loss. I would sit with Paul at lunch at the senior center, he was soft spoken. I sometimes see him walking his dog at the park. My deepest sympathy to the family. Paul will be missed.

“Pauline” was a dear friend.
His infectious laugh and upbeat demeanor was contagious. For me and all who loved him, he will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

We are very sorry to hear about Paul. He was always so kind and friendly to everyone at Fatima. He always would come and speak to our son as he grew up there and was an Altar Server and Paul always called him his buddy. Paul always asked about him every time we saw him at mass and still called him his buddy after all these years. We will miss seeing him. Your family is in our prayers.
Jim, Tina, and Jimmy Ramsey

So sorry to learn of Paul’s passing. He was a well-liked member of Fatima who contributed greatly to parish life for decades. He also was a most loyal and dedicated supporter of William Penn sports teams, especially the football program.
