I remember Paul as a trumpet player in the great SJHS Marching band, wearing one of those light blue uniforms back in the day, if I recall correctly. "Fight, Go Go, St. Joe"! I also remember the constant smile on his face, like it was yesterday. A great guy who will be missed. R.I.P. Mike Sierputowski, Class of '72'.

Paul was also a classmate of mine at St. Joes. I remember Paul playing the trumpet! Paul was a true gentleman and always had a smile on his face. Paul made the world a better place. Rest in piece my friend.

Paul was a '73 classmate and friend at St Joe HS. In my mind's eye, I can see him playing his trumpet at a pep-rally. We reconnected a few years ago at the Community of St Peter, when he would occasionally accompany our choir for Sunday liturgy.
