My deepest sympathies to Paul's family, loved ones, and friends. I worked with and for Paul at Pilgrim Station from the early 1970's until he retired. He was truly loved and deeply respected by all who had the good fortune to know him and work with him. His great sense of humor and calm nature always made it a pleasure to be with him at work. Lastly, but not least, thank you Paul for your service to our country.

My sincere condolences to Paul's family.
I worked with Paul at Pilgrim Station for a number of years, and always found him to be a straight shooter, honest and direct. He knew what he wanted for his crew, and helped me to learn how to best support the operators in their work. At the right moment, he also could be fun to work with, as he had many stories of past events at the plant, and of personal adventures. I am sorry to learn of his passing and am sure that he will be missed. -

I worked with Paul at Pilgrim Station. He was affectionately referred to as "Master Angelo" and was well liked and respected for his leadership capability. He was also a gentleman and worked well with others.

He was a no nonsense professional. He was well respected and demanded nothing but your finest performance.

Dear Family:
Paul and I first met on Okinawa while stationed at Camp Bishagawa, third battalion, third Marines. He was a person who one took to immediately and was the example of the Marine Corps image as we knew it at the time. Paul was laden with fun stories and also respected to be the man who could be counted on to watch your back during our country's difficulties. Paul then carried an automatic Browning Rifle and was the Marine one wanted to be next to as confrontation presented itself. We eventually met again as members of 2nd Mar Div Assn in Quincy. As with family, I will always remember Paul with fondness.
