Paul, Tom Rostkoski, Denny Weisbrod and I rode to school in Tom's 1949 Chevy, most of our Senior EHS year. Paul went on to be a minister of music at Good Shepherd Church in New York State. Paul met Ruth Anne Gross on "Match.com" in 2001 and when they were married in May of 2002, I served as his Best Man. I then joined "Match.com" and met my wife through the same service. Paul and Ruth Anne spent their 1st wedding anniversary with us shortly after Paul had been diagnosed with a forerunner disease to Leukemia. He passed away on Memorial Day, 2003. Shortly thereafter, Ruth Anne was diagnosed with ALS and after a valiant fight, passed away in 2007. Paul wrote and recorded various types of music. Being an only child, he used to tell others that, in later years, I was like the brother he never had. It was my pleasure. Richard Schmittgen
