Dear Debbie and family, Mom and I were so sad to read of Paul's passing and we just wanted to envelope you in our arms and prayers to comfort you, Paul's mom and your children. It was such luck that we got to reconnect with him and to meet you and his family like we did. He was always so likable, even in high school, he was always so full of himself and life, he just kind of seemed to plow through life with such gusto. Mom would come home every once in a while and say "i just saw Paul Nappo", it was always "Paul Nappo" not just "Paul", as if we knew many,no,just one. I expected him to show up at our door and make us laugh as he did a few times. You made a wonderful couple, hope to see you around, take care, we have you in our thoughts and prayers.
