To Paul's family, please accept my condolences and my prayers.
Paul was such a generous and appreciative person. I attended the Prayers for Healing group often from the late 90's until the center closed in 2018. Paul always welcomed everyone with warmth and kindness. He made me feel that I belonged there and would receive comfort from the prayer group, and he was right.  Our experiences of group prayer were powerful and profound thanks to Paul's guidance. Paul had such a youthful energy. I was saddened to learn of his passing, but so grateful that I knew him and experienced his lovely presence at the ARE Center for so many years. Thank you, Paul for your sweet disposition and pleasant manner. 
With gratitude for Paul and for his family who loved him.

All of us in the A.R.E. of NY Community were so sad to learn of Paul's transition--although I have no doubt he is meeting with a wonderful, joyful reception on the other side.

Paul has contributed so much to our A.R.E. of NY Community over the past decades and was much loved.  He served in our Center in a multitude of ways, from being a “maintenance man,” to sitting on our Board. Most notably, he served as facilitator of the Prayers for Healing Group which met weekly on Thursday nights.

Paul’s profound involvement with A.R.E. of NY went back to the original A.R.E. Center that existed in NYC from the 50s to the 70s. Paul and Rosalind were members of that Center and of the Prayers for Healing Group that met there. When the original Center closed, they remained members of the prayer group, which continued to meet in a private home until the second A.R.E. of NY Center opened in 1997.

When our Center closed in 2018, Paul hosted the Prayers for Healing Group in his home, until it began to meet remotely during the pandemic.

Paul was also instrumental in starting a new Dream Study group, which has met in a variety of places over the years, including Paul’s apartment. 

He will be deeply missed. We are praying for his ongoing journey in the light and for comfort for his family and all who are feeling his loss.

While I have many good memories of my Uncle Paul, there is one which especially stands out.   It happened one day at our house in New Jersey when our Anastasia Rose was four years old.  She changed  from an extremely shy little girl to a normal chatterbox because of our visiting Uncle Paul.
     Ana Rose always withdrew from people, even family members.  She either kept two fingers in her mouth, the rest covering her face, or went straight to her duck-and-cover refuge under the dining room table.  Nothing could draw her out of hiding except a plate of pasta, until the day our dear Uncle Paul came to our house.
     What did he do to transform my locked child ?   He was just being himself when she surprisingly started talking to him, enthusiastically and non-stop, for hours !  From then on she was no longer a shrinking violet but became our blooming rose.
     We are sorry to have lost him and extend deep sympathy to his family.

I live in NYC so I will be unable to get out to the services. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Paul today.  I will keep all pf the family in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Catherine Outeiral,
ARE of NY Prosperity Group Facilitator
