Karen I’m so sorry for your loss of Paul. I just saw it on Facebook. We always had a good time when Guy and Paul and I hung out. And the parties you and Paul put on were always fun. I saw that his parents passed away the two previous years and Paul is with them in Heaven. Take care Karen.
To the Guadagna family,
Our memories will be primarily of Paul organizing and playing shuffleboard at Sandpiper. Please accept our sympathies and prayers for the passing of Paul.
The Ron Nelson Family
Karen,
Ruel & I are very sorry to hear of Paul’s passing.
He was such a great guy, always fun to be around (unless the No-see-ums were biting him). I will always remember playing euchre with you guys, and how excited we all were when we bought into the Sandpiper, We had some good times. My prayer is that God will comfort you during this difficult time.
Karen, We are so sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. Whenever we saw him, he always had a smile on his face. You made such a good couple! Keep all the good memories close to your heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Dennis & Nancy
Dear Karen, my heart is aching for you. I haven’t kept in touch with either of you since high school; but the few times that our paths crossed at reunions, I was so happy to see you both so happy after so many years. You truly exuded a love and togetherness that was so special–it made everyone around you feel happy to be in your presence. I pray that that special love from Paul will continue to warm your heart as you go through this difficult time. I hope you reach out to your high school friends who would love to hear from you, including me. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God and your family, and Paul’s wonderful love for you, keep you comforted. Janet Kalpin Curry

Karen Bill and I are so sorry to hear of Paul passing sending hugs and love
Karen, we are sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. As we reminisce about all the fun times together with you and Paul, we go back to those early years. Playing darts at your house while sampling bottles from your initial wine making endeavors. Also getting together with you and Paul along with Mark and Kim at Honeoye. And of course, remembering our “traveling pick-up truck party” and the cold beer keg ice water. We never saw Paul without a smile and he always had that good hearted signature of his often followed by laughter of your own. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this difficult time.
Nancy & Bill Webb
Karen, I am at lost for words to express my heart felt sorrow that Paul has been taken from us. I know the many memories we share will always bring a smile to us as we reflect back on the many good time we shared. Paul live a full life and gave an us an example that life is short regardless of how long each of us has, we need to make sure the people we care absit know how much we love them. All I can say is we shared many celabrations and many happey times and we will all miss him but we will carry on in a manner that would make him proud. He was one of a kind and our memories of the good time will live on in each of us.
He was a good friend and I will miss him. All my sympathy to you , and the family we will miss him.
Love and Hugs

Karen, we were sorry hear about Paul. So many memories of our times together in Buffalo came rushing back to Diane and I. I’m surprised I never got fired from my job for all the golf we would play with Doug, Steve, and Dave. We still have our wreath from the Deck the Halls event and the good times at McGregor every year at the picnic. The best New Year celebration ever was the Limo with you guys. Throwing champagne glasses over the Falls. I’m not sure I would be able to survive that night today. My Mom still remembers us staying over at her house on our way to Jamaica for our vacation together. She thought Paulie was such a handsome man and reminded her of Tom Selleck with his mustache. Honestly, I never saw the comparison. Diane an I were talking about the time we came to visit you guys in Florida. We went to the Halloween party and that night I got up to go the bathroom and fell out of the trailer. It was good to be with you guys and have a cocktail and watch the sunset across the street. Our celebrations at your house at Xmas with a roaring fire and your famous Cucidatis for the whole gang to enjoy. I remember that one time we went to the Conesus Inn to have the Truman cut of prime rib an the best shrimp cocktail. Then we got to the hotel and it was the first time we ever saw Chardonnay coming out of a fountain. I think we tried to empty it completely. Just writing this has made Diane and I both laugh and smile quite a bit. Paul was special individual and he will be missed by many. I know he wasn’t religious, but I’m sure he made it heaven. I’m just not sure if heaven is ready or will ever be the same once they get to know him. We’re thinking about you and the kids and cherish all the good times we’ve had together. All our love, Joe & Diane.
Dear Karen – I’d like to send along my deepest sympathy to you and your family for the loss of Paul. His obituary had been forwarded to me through my Son, Michael. Mike might still be friends with your Son on FB? I have many memories of your husband. From, biding time in Study Hall playing cards or just hanging out since we lived close. I dreamt about the two of you only two nights ago. It was a very nice dream. Please know I will keep you in my prayers and may you find peace when it’s time. Sincerely yours
So many memories in nearly 20 years of friendship …. Starting with his visits saying thanks for “looking out for” his Mom and Dad at the Sandpiper in FL. And then so many laughter filled visits to their screened porch playing cards and games … and echoes of Karen’s laugh live on for us! Paul was a “doer” … a helper .. an organizer with activities like golf and shuffleboard, which provided so much enjoyment for his friends. Our weekend at the Honeyoye home is another cherished moment in time. Thankfully, his tremendous smile and warmth will be etched in our memory banks forever. RIP with our love, Ivan and Cheryl Harper
It’s so very sad. He was a great great person.
Many good times with Paul and Karen! Our condolences to all of you.
Paul will be missed so much. He was a great guy and I will miss him. Very sorry for your loss!
With Love
Suzanne Graziano
Sending love and prayers to you and the family. John /june Shaughnessy

Our sincere condolences to Karen and to her and Paul’s loving family. Paul and Karen were such an integral part of the Sandpiper community. Paul’s sense of humor and Karen’s organizational skills made such a wonderful team.

So very sorry for the huge loss of your loving Paul.
The nicest couple, always happy, always saying hello. we will miss Paul at the Sandpiper. God Bless your family ….Gone Too Soon…….Prayers….
Paul reminded me so much of my son . We enjoyed competing in games and cards and golf. We will miss him dearly.
Our deepest sympathy to Karen and his family.

Karen – I am so sad to hear this news, As you know Paul and I were best friends serving as our best men when we each got married. We laughed often at our job at the car wash and each time we all were together. He was an amazing friend, husband, son, father and grandfather who will be sorely missed. It’s a sad time for the many who knew him. My prayers go out to you all Bob Holesko
