I'm sorry to hear about Paul.  I just found out about it.  I'm Uncle Art's daughter, Carol Rogers Stravach. Paul was my younger cousin.  i was looking up information that he had sent me about the Rogers family tree and came upon his obit. My father and I along with Grandma Rogers stayed with the Cannamelas for a visit when I was about 16. Long time ago.  Fond memories. Carol Stravach, Lavallette, NJ

Lucille I was not able to get to the wake. I did attend the mass and then left for Florida and was not able to mail you a card.. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My condolences  and deepest sympathy to all of his family and friends. I was once a student at ECC. It was a pleasure to have him there. He was a big asset to the college but more importantly the students. God Bless

Children are one of the greatest legacies you can leave behind. I've had the honor and privilege of working with your son, Paul.  Rest easy, sir. You've done well.  I pray for peace and send blessings for the family, the legacy you leave behind.

Paul was one of the kindest people I have ever know. In all my years of being a neighbor, babysitter and mostly a friend Paul was always positive. God must have needed a chef!  My deepest sympathies to Lucille, Paul, Cindy, Sky, Matthew , Catherine and all his brothers and family members .

Prayers and blessings to the family. Mr. C was a great man. I was a student of his at ECC. I'm so glad I got the privilege to learn from him. God bless.

My thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Mr. C. I was fortunate enough to know this kind and loving soul, as a current student of his at ECC, He will be deeply missed but forever in our hearts. Thank you for all you've done Mr.C.

So sorry to hear of Paul's passing.  I worked with him at ECC and we had many conversations....i always loved listening to Pauls stories about his family and his various trips!  Your memories will be with you always.  Sincerely, Michelene Hucksoll

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Mr. Cannamela. The dedication he showed to Erie Community College and the hospitality industry as a whole, here in Buffalo, was second to none.

Cindy and Paul, sorry for your loss. Cathy vanalstine from KBC

I was so sorry to hear about Paul.  I have great memories of Paul and his family, both from long ago in Buffalo and in more recent years in Connecticut where we have our family reunion each year.  I never know what to say at times like this, I just wanted to send my condolences to the family in this time of sorrow.  You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Paul was the consummate professional.  A truly knowledgeable and fair minded swim official and teacher dedicated to his craft. I loved hearing of his travels in retirement.  He will be sorely missed.

It was a pleasure serving with you on the Board of Managers at Wedgewood Commons.  My sincere condolences to Lucille and the family.

Paul, You were a great asset to the Wedgewood Community serving on the board. You will be truly missed.

Condolences to the Cannamela family. I see that Paul left behind a large number of grandchildren and I am certain that he enjoyed them thoroughly.
