Dear Lori and Family,
Words don't seem enough in times of loss. We will certainly miss Paul for his friendship, sharing, thoughtfulness and hospitality. We will remember the rose garden parties, the fund raisers, the multi-family holiday dinners, and the visits to Sea Girt. As you already know we are here if you need us.
Love Noreen and Ed</b></font><br><br>

May GOD take him in his hands, and may his memory, love & influence be with you always. GOD sometimes hollows the heart to make room for happiness.

Lori and family,
We shall miss Paul but will never forget the many happy, silly times we spent with him. "I like Jersey best." will live on and always remind me of him. The Jamaican steel band that provided a bedroom serenade that Valentines' wedding day long ago is perhaps one of our most memorable thoughts of fun times with you and Paul. Thank you for sharing Paul with so many people. He was the best and I owe him a lot. Take care and my prayers and thoughts are with you as are Ted's.</b></font><br><br>

I don't need to tell you how special a man Mayor O'Keeffe was. Everyone knows that. When I moved to Plainfield in 1979, I was surprised to see a Republican as Mayor. But when I got to know him, I realized Paul was truly non-partisan. He loved Plainfield and gave of himself to mankind. He was one of the most honorable men I've ever met. And I will never forget our conversations about movies! I know in my heart that God Almighty welcomed him with open arms. I will always miss him and his goodness. God Bless to his family.</b></font><br><br>

I was shocked to read about Paul's passing. Dorothy and I extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
It's hard to believe so much time has passed since Paul and I attend high school and through our years with the City of Plainfield.
He was a good, honest man and an excellent friend. He will be missed by all.
