My husband & I met Paul when he was teaching at Saints and considering joining the Augustinians.  We saw him journey onto ordination.  I recall he was completely committed to his vocation and was happiest when at last he was ordained.  We lost track of him after but felt he would be a wonderful priest.  Anyone with his passion for this life commitment would have to be.  May he rest in peace.  Our sympathy to his family and his brother Augustinians.  We are sad that we missed his service.

Dear Brother Augustinians,
While at the wake/vistitation of Fr. Tim Cuny, OSA at St. Rita Chapel here in Chicago, I was stunned to learn of dear Fr. Paul's death and funeral earlier in December. I send you my prayers and condolences.

Paul and I were novices together in St. Louis together way back in 1979 - 80. Over the years we kept in touch mostly by card and email. On more than one occasion over the years, -- perhaps every 3 to 5 years-- one of us would reach out to the other and call. We'd talk for an hour or two about whatever was going on in our lives and where the Spirit was leading at that time. Paul had a way of connecting and empathizing with people from all walks. I was/am privileged to be his friend. May he rest in peace.

To my brother Augustinians:  I too am deeply saddened by the death of Fr. Paul.  We first became friends during Villanova summer school classes in 1966 when Paul was in the diocesan seminary.  I unite with you all in our common love for Paul and prayers for the Reward he richly deserves.
