I grew up with Paul and his family. We were close and did a lot of things together. Although I have not seen Paul in many years, I have found memories of him as Michael and Susan's younger brother. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, his children, and his family.

Gone much too soon, my heart aches for Paul's entire family. We all have so many precious memories from the old neighborhood. Paul was always one of the good guys!

There are no words I can write that would truly describe what a great person my uncle was. He was kind, caring and most of all, funny. I have so many great childhood memories; setting up obstacle courses for my barbie race cars, being introduced to my all time favorite movie, The Neverending Story and of course, the 12 Days of Christmas. I will forever remember my uncle as the only guy who could make me laugh just by hearing his laugh.
Rest Easy. We love you.

My sweet cousin, Paul, was serious, yet funny, shy yet bold: he was a good man. My memories of him are of our childhood...playing together on holidays, mucking about in the waters of Casco Bay during summertime trips to Maine...I am so sad to lose him ... though the miles came between us over the years...his family will miss him dearly... Susan, Michael, Paul, Peter and Kim have a wonderful history of love and friendship. Love Cousin Leslie and Auntie Lillian

Dear Cousin Paul... I will miss you dearly. You hold a special place in my heart, one filled with childhood & adulthood memories.. too many to count. Always, the one that comes to mind first is you, the conductor of the '12 Days of Christmas' and what joy and happy times that brought our family... and many others. I know there is a special place in heaven for you... and that we will all meet there one day and continue the fun... like it never had to stop. xoxo
Dear Debra, Andrew & Patrick, I am so so sorry. I can't begin to imagine what a loss like this feels like. He was such a wonderful guy.. I only pray that the wonderful memories you have of him stay with you forever, and just know there are so many praying for you all.
Much Love,
Cousin Chris

Deborah, Matthew and Patrick, Aunt Mary and all the Drakes, my prayers and thoughts are with you at this time of great sorrow. I loved Paul, everyone loved Paul. I have so many fond memories of him, most notably at Christmas time in Nana's house as he lead the off-key Brennan-Drake clan in our unique rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas. A performance we reenacted at Paul and Deborah's wedding, much to the horror of some of the other guests. Paul was such a good sport and a loving big cousin. He will be missed. With love and sympathy, Cindy

My Dear Brother Paul,
Never enough time...You were too young to leave us. But you have left us with so many wonderful memories. The middle child of five, you had to grow up faster than should be, losing our dad when you were 17. Serious, kind, quiet, hardworking, but always ready for a fun time and a good laugh. And, oh that wonderful, infectious laugh! I hear it in my head right now. You were a wonderful son, brother, husband, father and friend and will be greatly missed. My heart aches for Deborah, Andrew, and Patrick. To them I say, draw your strength from those around you and take everything a day at a time. Your loving sister Susan

RIP Paul, from a Roslindale friend who hung out and grew up during the 50s and 60s with you and the kids from Belgrade Ave, Durnell Ave, Walworth and Metcalf. Fond memories of playing stickball in the street, sledding at Fallon field, snowball fights in the empty lot on Durnell, buying penny candy at the corner store and riding bikes through the neighborhood came flooding back.

Was saddened to hear of this news. Many, many fond memories from our childhood years. Paul, Rich, and I walked to school almost everyday at Longfellow School through grade 6. I was just thinking of him the other day.
God bless you Paul, and my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this sad time.
Blessings,
Harry John

Paul was a gentleman and true friend who I got to know during my stint in Whitehouse Station in the late 90's. Not only was he a talented marketer and colleague, but a steady and unflappable man who always was there when needed (whether for presentation advice or to drive me home once when I fell ill!). I will miss him, as will we all, and I offer my sincerest condolences to his wife and family.
