To the entire Casanto family:
Our entire family is so saddened by the loss of Paul. He was a gentle and kind man and we know how much you are going to miss him. I just lost my Dad as well and I feel for what you are going through, and what you will be going through as well. Know that he is in a better place and we will all be together again someday.
I pray that God will give each and everyone of you peace and comfort.

Paul, We're so sorry for your loss. Your parents were great people. I have many fond memories of time spent with your family. Even though you'd like to still have them with you...thank God that you had such awesome parents. Many people never have that privilege. Try to focus on all the great memories with such loving parents. You were their pride and joy.
You have our heart felt sympathy,

I will miss Paul. We would wave to each other as he drove past. If he was outside as I was walking the dogs, we'd stop and chat. He was a kind, gentle man & I really liked having him for a neighbor.
My sincere sympathies.
