John & family - I do not have the language to express your loss. I knew Paul a little and he always helped our son with his MG with parts and that is what I remember mostly. Our son Neil and Paul were good mechanical buddies and we were grateful for this. Thank you Paul. Your waiting is over.
If I can be of any help let me know.
Your friend - Mac & Deb
Uncle John and Family

I would like to send my condolences to the family of paul mcdonald,I will always remember paul as the fun loving person that he was theres no doudt that he will be missed by many as he brightened the lives of all those around him.I'm sure that he is up in heaven smiling down on us today and telling us not to cry but to rejoice that he is in a better place.I will cherish my memories of Paul forever, and every time I think of him I will smile knowing that if only for a brief time I was blessed to have known him.
Dearest Paul, although we have known you for only a short period of time when we came to America a few years ago, it was enough to leave an everlasting impression in our hearts of a man with a tender and generous heart like a small child not withstanding the appearance of a tough guy. Now, dear Paul with your dear mother Luciana you will be able to continue to transmit your love to your loved ones. In this sad moment, we would like to be close and embrace your father John, Francis, Julie and Nancy and send a prayer to Paul and Luciana. Uncle Diego and Ginetta, Alberto and Tommaso Rigno.
Carissimo Paolo, ti abbiamo conosciuto per poco tempo quando siamo venuti in America qualche anno fa, ma è stato sufficiente perchè restasse per sempre nel nostro cuore il ricordo di un uomo con un cuore tenero e generoso come quello di un bambino, nonostante l'apparente aspetto di un "duro".
Ora caro Paolo con la Tua cara mamma Luciana potrai continuare a trasmettere il Tuo amore ai Tuoi cari.
In questo triste momento vogliamo essere vicini con un abbraccio a papà John a Francis, Julie e Nancy e preghiamo per Paolo e Luciana.
Zii Diego e Ginetta con Alberto e Tommaso Rigno.
With deepest sympathy we send our condolences to the entire family. Despite the distance between Virginia and Vicenza, Italy, Paul has always remained in our heart. May the memory of Paul's smile give us strength through these difficult times. Aunt Michela, Antonio, Antonella, and Valentina Sasso.
Dal piu profondo dei nostri cuori vi poniamo le nostre condolianze. Pur essendoci una notevole distanza tra Vicenza e la Virginia, il sorriso di Paolo non e' mai stato dimenticato e mai lo sara'. La sua memoria sara' una fonte inesauribile di Forza. Zia Michela, Zio Antonio, Antonella e Valentina.
For the McDonald family, I am very sorry to hear to hear of your loss. I met Paul some years back, but I know your loss will remain forever. He was a good son and family member. Keep his memories forever. I hope I can can be there at the family viewing or at the service. Please accept my condolences at your great loss. Jim Gibson
My condolences go out to the family and friends of Paul. Paul I always looked forward to going to Karaoke when I knew you were going to be there. You brought excitement to the night from the moment you walked through the door. Thank you for your songs and friendship-I will miss you buddy! You are now a Free Bird, Rest in Peace.

My sympathies go to the family and friends of Paul. Paul you were very special to me and I will miss you dearly-you have a special place in my heart. Thank you for accepting me for who I am. You were always a gentleman, in offering me rides, looking out for me and being there to talk. Karaoke will never be the same for me without you being there. I will never forget you on the stage-you will always be there with me. Thank you for all the beautiful songs you sang for me and that wonderful smile that brought joy to all who knew you. You were one-of-a kind - irreplacable. Rest in Peace
