My husband, daughter and I only lived acrosss from Rita and Paul for a couple of years but they have made a lasting impact to my life. I had the pleasure of bringing my daughter Kelly over to visit them several times a week. Rita loved commenting on Kelly’s shoes and they both joyously listened to a new song she learned or encouraged her to jump in the puddles on their driveway. They taught her where they kept their chip ahoys so when she opened the bottom draw they would whip out the placemat and napkins. Paul enjoyed how Kelly nibbled away at it slowly. I recall Paul talking a lot about his grandson Drew, sharing happy moments they had or something Drew had done.
Paul always had a smile and a good sense of humor. They both will be forever in my heart! I enjoyed all the photos you posted. Paul was very proud of his family. I’m so sorry for your loss. He was an amazing family man!
Love,
Lora Finnerty
