It is with great admiration and love that I extend condolences to the Smith family from the Greiner family. Paul was my uncle's (John Greiner) best friend throughout their grammar school and HS lives. Just moments ago Paul "popped" into my thoughts as I often think about him and his presence in my grandparent's house on Garden Street in Hoboken. The good 'ol days of fun, family and BBQs. I always looked up to Paul, not only as a friend of my uncle's, but as a family member, as an uncle. 

Finding out Paul has crossed over comes as a surprise. I have many memories of Paul, my uncle and other friends at 905 Garden Street as they were a "crew." I remember as a little boy running to him the same as when I ran to my uncle. In these moments I was his nephew, and he treated me, my sister and cousins as such, with care and love, as well as just fun to be around... us Greiner kids loved him!

Many blessings, prays and love is extended from the heart of the Greiner family. Paul will live forever in our hearts as family. 

Paul, soar in all your glory! Say hi to my uncle John, and know, even though we didn't connect that often over the years (I think the last time was 2016?), you are forever a part of the Greiner family and forever in our hearts. 

Love,
Roger J. Greiner

Cindy I just found out that Paul passed away because I'm still in Florida. Our Deepest Condolences to You and your Family. Your husband was a Great Man! Always Friendly, Caring & Polite. I'll miss seeing him at the gym & around town.  Rest In Peace Paul 😢🙏💔

I’m very sorry to hear of Paul’s passing, he was a spectacular guy.  I had the pleasure of working with Paul at AT&T for several years (as well as Carol), he always had a smile on his face and we had a million laughs.  He was a total class act, and as genuine as any human being I’ve ever met.  Our prayers to Paul’s family, he had a ton of friends here at AT&T and he is missed by all.
