O Captain - my Captain!
Rarely do we find people who enter our lives,
Who leave such an indelible impression
You were extraordinary in your kindness
A gift to humanity with the gentleness of your heart and mind
A true, eloquent spokesperson for the human condition
Never wavering in the gusto at which you accepted and rose to challenges
And never without a kind word or sentiment
Your kindness knew no bounds
Your love and goodness, no limits
I loved and admired you as much as anyone on this Earth,
And I thank God for allowing me the honor to be a small part of your extraordinary, and enormously bountiful life
What a privilege to have been mentored by you
A bright and blazing star.
Whom I always called a Beacon of light and hope
One whose brightness shall never extinguish or diminish
Your life, well-lived, will never die.
Well-done, kind sir. O Captain, My Captain.
Now you soar with the Angels
Mission accomplished
My love to Paul and Phyllis

I knew Paul for five years, since I joined him on the Judge Rotenberg Center Board of Directors. I always appreciated Paul's thoughtful remarks in our meetings, and equally enjoyed chatting with him at our informal times. He was a nice fellow, and I'll miss him.

High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew --
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

My deepest condolences to Dr. Sullivan's family. We often talked about our families during our sessions. I loved to hear his stories of having a pet chicken as a child and how he was part of Wings of Mercy flying those who didn't have the means to various medical facilities so they could seek much needed medical treatments. He often told me that for him it was about what he had in life but more about what others didn't have. I've thought of him often since we've moved away in 2015 including just this morning. He was such a kind, loving and generous man. Heaven gained a true angel on Monday 2/20/17

I cherished the time we worked together at JRC with you on the Board of Directors. Your knowledge, inteligience and wit were such a great asset to our organization. I enjoyed our friendship and professional relationship. I also enjoyed our love for Martinis and your introduction for me of garlic stuffed olives. I will certainly miss you. I'm glad your final flight was on a Lear Jet. Fitting for a man who loved fly.

To Paul's family and friends, my sincerest condolences to all of you. I had the pleasure of knowing Paul as a fellow board member for JRC the past few years. He was always so joyful, incredibly thoughtful, and truly dedicated in all he did. His passion for his professional work ,and his unwavering love for his family was always clear from all of his stories. He will be dearly missed.
