Not a day goes by that I don’t miss you uncle Paul… U were my father since I was 16. And before that you had been raising me off and on since I was born. Hope you and my dad made peace up there. I am happy to know now that you can watch and see how hard I actually do follow all the advice you drilled into me and Paulie. Love you and miss you more then words can describe.
Ann says
It has now been just a little more than 2 years since this amazing man I had the privilege of calling my dad has passed. There truly is not a day that passes that I don’t miss him. Often I find my heart aching, but within moments my thoughts are once again filled with incredibly happy memories of him and I recall all of his love.
I miss you Papa Smurf!!!
