Dear Patti and Adachi Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of Paul. I hadn't heard about his service until the Monday after. My fondest memory of Paul was playing football, I was a little older, a little taller and had a few pounds on him and would roll him over until one time he decided to cut my legs out from under me, all I could say was Good Move bro ;0)

My heartfelt condolences to Sally, Tori, and the Adachi family on the loss of your beloved, Paul. I had the pleasure of working with Paulie at Graphic Warehouse/Wace/Seven for several years. He was always smiling, always willing to help others, always a friend. And, like myself, he was "old school." I'm grateful for being able to call him a friend and know he will be missed by all who knew him.

Sally and Tori, We were so sorry to get the call from your Mom, telling us about the death of your dear Paul. Our hearts go out to you and the rest of the family, too. Losing a parent is so hard Tori, and we hope God will watch over you both and give you strength. Love, Bette and Phil Marshment

Paul like me, grew up in Hyde Park. He was one of the few neighborhood kids about whom, I heard no one make any negative remarks -and we were a caustic crowd. And although he was a few years younger than I am, there were a few times he was chosen before me for pick-up softball games. I wasn't jealous, I just wanted to play on his team, he was good.
