What a great man! I did not find out until recently about his passing. You will always have a special place in my heart "Daddy O"

Brownie,  My friend at 13 - still my friend. I will never forget your kindness and wish you great adventures now. Your friend, R. Finkernagel, III.

I'm just finding out today on the internet of your passing. very sorry to hear this news. I also agree you are a legend to Cape Coral. the last time we had dinner together I told you the Cape should name a street after you when you die. You told me it would be great if they name a street after me while I'm alive. I was one of many people that gained through your knowledge of real estate. Thank you Paulie...
 You will be missed by many God bless!

Dear Uncle Brownie,

Paul was one of the most special men that we've been fortunate to have in our lives. His love and generosity knew no bounds and his smile lit up every room he entered. Memories of dinners with great stories, laughter, and more drinks than we needed will carry on through our lives. We loved him very much and will miss him terribly. .

Every young boy has an idol, someone to look up to and to emulate when they grow up.  And for me, Uncle Brownie, that someone was you. Your confidence, personality, style and sense of humor, attracted people everywhere you went. You always had command of the room. Your unending generosity and your undying loyalty to your family and friends was overwhelming. You loved your family dearly, but it was your friends and the way you cultivated those relationships were one of your greatest assets. Uncle, I learned a lot from you over the years. In part, I am the man I am today because of my relationship with you.  You will be greatly missed by everyone who knew you. I love you and am blessed to have had you in my life. May you and Auntie Alice rest in peace.

You were much loved by our family. We will miss you always.

Paul was a great friend and it was an honor to know him for years and years.  Paul will surely be missed by all his friends and loved ones.  I will surely miss you.

Kindness, empathy, humor. Marks of a great man.

Moving here in 1973 and working in the banking community for forty years I had the pleasure of working with some great people, truly Paul was one of those.  He was an inspiration for any aspiring individual who wanted to succeed.  Although he will be truly missed he will not be forgotten....

Mort Goldberg introduced me to Paul early on. Paul helped St Hilary's in decisions about long range planning. He helped our sons in starting up 3 Fishermen more than a dozen years ago. This is a time for the healing of fond memories, Fr Robert Browning

Paul, You and Alice have been my next door neighbors, patients and friends since 1979. SW Florida will miss you as will I and we all thank you for your kindness and your contributions to our community. The Cape will NEVER be the same without you.


"The memory of the righteous is a blessing." Proverbs 10:7

If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, you have lived and left an unending gift to all those who were blessed to call you friend.  I will always remember Mr. Staffile as a cornerstone of the Cape, and his wise words of counsel never forgotten. 
My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

A beautiful tribute to a great man.  I feel like my life was made better just by knowing Paul.  He will be missed by all who knew him.

Uncle Paul,I will miss you greatly!Gordie(Mille'Sapore)

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
