Paul - 
Your parents were so proud of you! You accomplished a great deal thru out your life.  I am sure they are happy to be reunited with you after all these years.

Well Paul, we met as freshman at Northeastern University in 1964.

There were a group of fledgling engineers in the rooms at the end of the hallway 90 The Fenway dormitory.

Who knew that 50 years later here are the four of us “Rick, George, Jim, and Paul” on the stairs at Rick’s beach House on Salisbury Beach.

There were a lot of fun times, and some struggles (especially the early years) but we stayed good friends through it all.

You have always been a uniquely talented person, concert level pianist as a youth, patent worthy chemical engineer as a coop student, and top level barrister in your career. Your abilities defined you.

It was a pleasure and an Honor to have known you!

You will be missed.

Well, old friend. While I know that you won't be reading this, I do know that you'd be chuckling over the fact that I left the memory for others to see. These last two years have been tough as we had our weekly talks about which of us might be shuffling off this mortal coil first. I guess that it's now clear that you beat me.

Since we started drinking together back in 1964 at Northeastern University, we've shared a tremendous amount of good times and amazing adventures together. You've been part of my family, and I, yours. The good news is that you now won't have to put up with all of us bugging you about how you're doing. I know. It was not a bother. But, now you're at peace with the problem set. Good on ya. brother!

"till next we meet...

So sorry to know you left to soon it was nice to have gotten to know you you are at peace now no more pain my dear friend it was a joy to have known you thanks for looking out for my grandfather's wishes you always reminded me of that movie star with your bright green eyes see ya on the other side one day may you be at peace now 

I have known you a little over six months and you became part of me. I spent most of my night moments with you as an aid within that six months and cherish them. 

You shard your childhood memories with me, told me about all your friends and the happy moments you shared with them, life in Manhattan, sailing etc. 
I admired the passion, love and the joy in your eyes whenever you spoke about your friends. You made me believe true friends still exist.

It was so hard for me to see you leave....
 You were always asking me where you are going from here because this is the end... I didn't know it was going to be that soon Paul. 

Indeed, death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Fare thee well Mr. Paul Deluca
May your gentle soul Rest In Peace

I’m so grateful that Kyle and I got to know you. We shared the entire spectrum of experiences as friends, from carefree evenings at your house on Echo Valley Road, to discussing the fears of the future and flaws of the past. I will miss you. I hope you are at peace and in a better place then what you left here. 

May your journey on the other side be as adventurous as your journey to get there. 

Rest In Peace my friend.
