I partied hard with Paul through most of the 70's, those were crazy times. Most of the time it would be at his house in San Gabriel were he would rehears in the garage relentlessly. Having limitless energy is an understatement, he would make the Energizer Bunny want to take a nap, lol.  Paul was generous and had nothing but good will towards all. Giving up or slowing down just weren't part of Paul's itinerary.  For some reason we lost contact around 1981, I don't remember why, we were always friends.  Everyone probably just growing up and going to find their own path.  I have thought of what he may be doing and have tried to find him over the years, to at least say hello.  Even with the internet I was not successful until now, not how I wanted it to happen.  He was special and the world is now a little less special without him.  Shout out to Janice and Brian.  Sincerely Mark Bennici

What a man. I was just sitting and thinking of you. He was my Aunts husband and over time really became a part of the family.I remember watching every Super Bowl at his house crazy stories and good times you are missed brother rest easy.

Paul I can't sleep I keep thinking of you but I just wanted to say that Allyson is doing great you be so proud of her ❤️...

Spring is here and Paul loved baseball and Summer. Cookouts, swim parties, everything Summer. I love the season too but it won't be the same without you. Brian

I went to High School with Paul. Great friend. We played music together in a 50's Band. Good Times...

It's hard to put 60 years of memories into a few sentences. He was my older brother (but not by much, just 14 months), and I loved him dearly.  He was my idol, growing up, and everything I was not.  He  taught me how to ride a bike and play catch. He loved sports, both playing and watching them on TV (I became a sports fan many years later, to both our surprise). He was also a good student, but music was his passion.  Paul lived to perform on stage, and I loved going to hear him play at various gigs. He surprised us by getting married a bit later in life and having a daughter, who he loved dearly. Losing a sibling is hard. So many things we won't be able to share anymore.

He sure could rock & roll. 🎹🎼🎵🎶

Paul and I met in the summer of 1990, he a fresh transplant from San Gabriel, California. 

Paul McCartney, of Beatles fame,  had booked a concert at Raleigh’s Carter-Finley Stadium that summer, and I asked Paul if he would like to join me.  Our great love of The Beatles was mutual. 

Paul and I shared a kinship for both live music, as well as in the formation of several bands,
which he fronted for multiple years in his new home of Raleigh.

Paul was immensely dedicated to his craft. The countless band practices, guitar and harmony sessions that took place in Paul’s garage were some of the happiest times of my life.

Paul, never a loss for words, expressed multitudes with his craft of songwriting. Sharing his varied musical abilities with others brought Paul a great deal of joy.

I am blessed to have been a part of his song of life.


-Love

What can one say at the end of a life filled with such energy...the knowledge we lost when Paul took his last breath....could fill a county library.  He was ever so patient with the many roles he played..Father, Husband, Brother, Son, Uncle, Band Member, In-law and Friend....he loved with a fierce loyalty sometimes manifesting itself with only a kind glance..but fiercely loyal all the same in it's intent. Once Paul brought you into his heart ...he never let you leave his heart. He was a man of many talents and it was often a joy to watch him display them...part of his own joy...was clearly bringing joy to others. There is a hole in my heart knowing I no longer have his ears to bounce life off of....His advice if he could speak to me.... with his Southern California grin "you got to learn to ride that  wave...don't fight it"....Rest in peace my friend.

My life long friend.  Very close as young men and shared so many great times. So many special memories of the times we were there for each other. Creativity in music was in his sole. He was that guy that would rock out like no one was watching, his passion and his love. A loving husband and father; He Loved!
Farewell Brother, Rock On!!!!!!

Brian and Family,
I'm so sad to hear of your loss.  Please know you are in my prayers and have my support
