My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I grew up with Paul in Grandview and he was always one of the sweetest and kindest people that I went to school with - from the grade school all the way through high school graduation. He always had a kind word or a smile for you. He was one of the first kids to express his condolences to me when my father passed away suddenly in 10th grade. May God be with Mr. & Mrs. Damiani, Lui and Paul's wife and daughters.

Dear Gino, Maureen, and family. Words can not express our deepest sympathy at your loss. May you have comfort knowing there is a God and I know you believe in his abundant love. Your son in now in heaven and while you will feel his loss, he work on earth is done. He will always be with you. I suffered the loss of my brother three years ago and while he no longer is with me on earth, he is with me always in my heart. I speak to him often and will continue to do so until God joins our family together once again. You have an amazing family-Gino and Maureen a very special love. May your love in each other and faith in God help you through these difficult days to come.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I went to school with Paul and he is a very gifted man. I lost my brother at the age of 34 and life doesn't seem fair when God takes one so young. Lorie

There are no words to describe the searing hole of a loved one being ripped from you so suddenly. Your faith in God is the only thing that can pull you through because nothing makes sense or seems fair about losing a love so dear, so young, with so many accomplishments and with so much more to achieve. Paul leaves behind a family who will draw from his strength, girls that will live lives that their father will be proud of, and an extended family with bonds so strong that death cannot break them.
We are so sorry for your loss. There are no words of comfort that are capable of easing your agony. We feel lucky to have met Paul enjoying his family on Christmas some years ago. The joy and love in that room was deliciously tangible.
After the unbelievable news and our phone call with you, I went out to my garden where I find the peace helps me think. I began planting hostas that I had bought earlier and had placed at their intended spot in the garden framework. As I was kneeling in the dirt, carefully patting the soil around the first of seven hostas, I found myself looking at the label. The hostas were "Paul's Glory". All seven are now in our garden at the lake and they look beautiful.
We love you. You are in our hearts.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. I (Todd) moved into Grandview during my senior year in high school. It is impossible for me to fully thank everyone who made that year (and the after glow thereof) so fantastic. I am truly blessed many times over by the kindness of many people during that povital year. Paul (and the entire Damiani family) are right there at the top among those who welcomed me with open arms. I still remember getting chills when we sang "My Way".
May God bless you during this time of sadness and bring you great joy when you think about all the joy that Paul radiated to those whose lives he touched.

Gino and Maureen,
My heart goes out to you and your family for your loss. I'll put you and yours in my prayers for strength during this time. I never met your son or his family, but have talked with you about them and visited through pictures.
The Lord will be there for you during this time.

We were deeply saddened to learn of Paul's passing. We remember him for the smile he had and kindness he always showed others. Even when he was young, it was obvious Paul would be successful. His passion for the things he cared about was so evident. He truly was one of the good souls that enriched the lives of those fortunate to know him.
Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. We are deeply sorry for your loss and we trust your memories of Paul will help sustain you in the months and years ahead. God bless all of you.
