To Paul’s family, I am so sorry to hear of Paul passing. Why was he taken so soon? He had so much to give to his son and up coming grand child. This man was a gem and I know everyone that knew him is probably shedding a lot tears. Why do the good die young? I hope there was a reason for taking so early. Paul I am so sorry you missed your grandchild. I never met Paul’s son but please know your father was special and I am sure there won’t be a day that he won’t be watching over you all. Remember all the good times and yes listen to his laughs and remember all who he is and was. Cherish his fish ties and memories of his fishing stories. Paul you rest in Peace and I am sure you will see Look down and be proud of your family. We are going to miss you Paul!! Ruth Here’s is one of the hugs
from: Ruth Accetta	on: 11-26-2023

It is very hard to believe I won't be seeing him every few days. I have known Paul since I was 10 years old and he really didn't change much over the years. A little older, sure, but always fishing or drawing and definitely telling stories and smiling. I hope the great memories you all have will carry you through this extremely difficult time. Fish on, Paul!

The Gigliotti Family, Paul and I used to talk quite a bit. I enjoyed his fishing stories about himself and his good friend David Slick. Paul had a special spirit about him and a beautiful soul. I will miss our talks. Paul never called me by my name only called me"Flipper" because of the dolphin tattoo on my ankle. I am truly sorry for your loss.

To Paul's entire family, I was so shocked to hear of Paul's passing. I've known Paul since we were little kids. In recent years, I've run in to him a lot in Val's store in Adams.

I don't know what to say,... we were just talking with Paul a few days ago, this is so hard to believe. He was telling us how proud he was of his son Dylan on his new job and with a Grandbaby coming, it breaks our hearts. As naighbors all growing up together, we are all a lifetime family with so many great childhood memories that we all shared backyard to backyard. Paul's Father and my father were both Veterans and close friends. Paul and I growing up together and even working together our whole life, our friendship was always close. I can remember so many great times, Paul and I used to sneak up to West Road and fish on Dooley's land and always got caught. Every winter everyone use to slide in our backyards, we were always outside doing something. He will be missed by all who knew him, he's left so many with great memories. Paul will always be fishing somewhere. Our hearts, prayers, and tears go out to Sue, Karen, Peter, and Mom Gigliotti. Our deepest condolences Dave & Sue

I’m sure going to miss Uncle Paul. He was always one of the nicest and kindest individuals. He sure enjoyed sharing his stories - and he sure loved talking about his boy, my beloved cousin Dylan. To Dylan and everyone who loved Paul. I’m still trying process this, just like everyone else. He was so elated to become a grandfather, and while he may not be able to physically be present - I know Dylan and his soon to arrive son will have a guardian Angel with them each moment of each day. Please also know that we are all here for you. I have so many fun and funny memories of Paul that I’ll cherish forever. He sure was a master fly fisherman, but most of all he was just a hell of a good guy. Whether a funny story or joke…or even his occasional corny joke, Paul always had a boisterous and infectious laugh. He’s going to missed by so many. My deepest and sincerest condolences to all of Paul’s family and friends.

To all of Pauls family I wish you Love, Peace and Empathy as you heal from the loss of Pauls physical being. We all know he is a better place but gone to soon. That does not mean we will not all still see his smile, hear his laughter, and remember his tales. I am sure Dylan will carry on tradition as his has big shoes to fill. He Loved you so very much. I remember his tattoo so he could take you wherever he was. Although I can not be present to celebrate his life with all of you in spirit I am and will always look to the skies and see another smile coming through those Angel Clouds. Friends never die they just move to higher places. Love To All .
