Paul, you will forever be one of my favorite people downtown. I will always remember the day you gave me a tour of the Accident Fund and you showed me the toilet which replaced the one your back demolished. I'll miss the way you'd lift your drink before telling me your cappaccino was not quite dry enough, which I would happily make a million times over until it was just right for you because I liked you so much. You are a wonderful person, Paul. I was always glad to see you, eyes smiling and a laugh just sitting below the surface. A joy to be around and uplifting company. Downtown is a poorer place without you and so is my store. I miss you, we all miss you, but I hope there is peace where you are, peace without pain. Please, know that you are loved still and forever.

Every evening I will look at the clock, expecting to see you walk in the door, bright eyed and smiling. Trish and myself are drinking Quad shot Cappuccinos in your name! Now your true journey begins, and there are none more deserving of God's grace and the Universe's beauty. Paul was a true ode to strength and courage, and will forever be missed. Love and Light to all who mourn the loss of this wonderful man. 

â€œLive life so completely that when death comes to you like a thief in the night, there will be nothing left for him to steal.â€

Paul-It's so hard to believe you won't be around to share your voice, laughter and smile with those who love you.  Although I am miles away, you always were and always will be close to my heart.  I will miss you.  Uncle Kuks (and Mary Ann)

I have known the family for years.. I am extreamly sorry for your sudden loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all...

Today, I will come to say goodbye to you, my friend.  Never in a million years would I have thought that when I just talked to you when you came into work, it would be the last time.  I will miss seeing your smiling face around the Fund and will never forget all the memories that I have.
My heartfelt condolences to Paul's family.  I will keep you all in my prayers as you grieve the loss of a son, brother and very good friend.  He will be missed by many.

Paul always had a smile for everyone.  I could never remember his name, but he looked a little like the Crocodile Hunter, so I would say "crickey" whenever I would see him.  I cannot imagine Accident Fund without his presence.  Such a nice guy, and a tragic loss for all.

Words can't express the shock and sadness in my heart - I just talked with Paul - I can't believe he's gone! He was a dear friend - such a great smile and sense of humor. We played on the Accident Fund golf league together for many years - what a character he was on the course! We will miss him so much here at AF. Paul was a good man. My deepest sympathy to Paul's family - my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked with Paul in downtown Lansing from the middle to late 1980's and remember him as being hard working, cheerful, and dependable, consistently giving his employer a full day for the wages he was earning.  Combined with those traits and a great sense of humor, coupled with his "can-do" attitude I wasn't surprised when he got a well deserved step up the ladder to a job with the Accident Fund. We lost touch afterwards and I was shocked and saddened to learn of his death, regrets and my deepest sympathy to Paul's family and friends.  He will be greatly missed and I am sincerely sorry for your loss.

Kozlowski family, I pray that God comfort you in this great loss.  He will always be a part of my heart and I feel blessed to have known him.

To Paul's family I wish sincere sympathy and consolation. I hope you can find some solace remembering Paul and seeing what a deep and enduring impact he had on so many friends.  Paul helped me so much.  We shared so many great moments laughing over pretty much nothing.  I will always remember his big smile, his quickness to laugh and his huge, huge heart.

I just talked to you Paul!!  I will always remember your kind smile and friendly manner, you will be missed!  May God comfort your family in this time of sorrow.  God Bless you all!

I'm going to miss you my brother. I learned so much from you and I thank you. You were the best friend anyone could have. May the LORD support  and give strength to your family.

To Paul's Family my sincere sympathy for our lost freind and coworker. Always there to help out in any way he could, and ready to show me how to repair something easier and safer . We will miss you. God bless.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Paul, what a great human being that left this earth and all who met and knew him with nothing but wonderful memories.  A great son, brother, and friend to all who met you.  You had a great sense of humor!  You will be missed!  God's blessings on you and your family.
Special thoughts for my dear friends Linda & Mark, and special hugs for Mom!
Kozlowski family love on each other and know we are thinking of you all.
Love, Lynnie & Jimmy Tripp

I will always remember Paul coming around a corner here at Accident Fund, always friendly, always with a smile on his face.  I will miss him!

Your sweet gentle soul, your wonderful sense of humor, your humble response when reminded of how great a job you did will be forever missed. Your chocolate chip cookies were legendary! I will miss your smiling happy face. May your family's pain be eased somewhat with the knowledge that you were loved by all and are so deeply missed. RIP Paulie......

Diane Strzelec and I will miss Paul as he was a great friend and coworker. Our condolences to his family and may you find peace in your loss. Our prayers are with you at this time.

Remember Handing out Candy on Halloween? Remember teaching me how to crack Crab legs at Wally's and a piece of crab went into the waiters Afro? Remember going for long rides in the country in your Grand Prix? Remember burning the spaghetti, so we went to the Olive Garden? Watching fireworks on the roof-top? Remember talking for hours on end? The Memories are endless .My heart is heavy and I will miss you my friend, I know you are in a better place and I will never forget you. 
To the Family:
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with Paul's Family. May God help you find Peace during this difficult time.  Paul was a very special friend to me for many years, always giving great advice and always willing to help out others.  I will treasure the memories of our laughs that we had together.  Paul was a special person and I truly believe that God has a special plan for Paul.  God Bless.

My heart is so sad to hear of Paul's passing.  Thoughts and prayers are being sent to his family, friends and close co-workers during this difficult time.  May God bring his healing grace and peace to you all. Paul will be greatly missed by many and fondly remembered.. especially as most of us entered or left the building, as I often saw him in the window, always waving with a friendly smile.

Rest in peace, Paul. To the family, know that Paul had many friends that will miss him. May you find comfort in knowing he was loved by many.

My heart goes out to Paul's family and friends.  He will be missed greatly at AF.  He was not only a pleasure to work with but was a true friend. His smile, laugh and dedication will be impossible to replace.  My heart is deeply saddened.

There will always be an emptiness to our AF team.  You will be missed Paul.
Thoughts and prayers to his family.  God Bless.
