Dear Maria, Karla and family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace and may you carry good memories of him with you always. Peace, Teresa
Dear Mimi, Karla & Maria: I was very sad to learn of Uncle Paul’s passing from my sister last night. I often remember him and your mother whenever I pass by the house on Mill Street in Pittston. Their visits to Scranton and the times I was able to visit their home are some of my happiest family memories. Your dad’s integrity and dedication to your family were always admired. Your memories of your dad and the little things you shared are treasures you will always have and never forget. Please find comfort in that your dad, mom and Paul are now together and whenever you think of them you will remember their smiles and love they had for you and your families. Sorry I cannot be with you in person to celebrate your Dad’s life. Your Dad and your family are in my prayers today.
Dear Mimi, Karla & Maria: Please know that although we are separated by distance, please know that my wife Sharon and children Christina, Maria and C.J. join in your sadness at this time and pray that your memories of your father will give you comfort in knowing he will always be with you.
My heart goes out to the family during this difficult time. I send my most sincere condolences and strength as you move through the grieving process. May your happy memories of him remain a comfort to you always.

My prayers and sincerest condolences to the family during this difficult time.
Paul was my car pool buddy at Timet for a few years in the early 80ís. He never complained if I was late and he was always a good listener. Paul loved talking about his children and what activities were going on with them. The day I got laid off was my day to drive. I was upset and crying so Paul drove my car home for me. He was truly a nice guy. I only had a chance to see Paul a handful of times over the years, but he always remembered me. I know how hard it is to lose a parent – he will be greatly missed.
So sorry to hear of your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
TO FAMILY
SADDEN TO LEARN OF PAUL’S PASSING.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU
TERRY L GOSA
