Paul's passing will impact all of us that knew him. From the LHS days of football and lacrosse practice to our many reunions Paul was the kind of guy that always made you feel good about yourself. His leadership as President of Pilgrim Fellowship should also be remembered. Thank You Paul for being one of the good guys- You are already missed!

I am sorry to learn of Pauls passing. He was a great guy and a great team mate back in the 70's on the LHS Football and Lacrosse teams. Paul was also a great human being. We had reconnected and communicated a couple years back about family, life, business, politics and more. I will always remember his glowing personality and warm disposition. Know that Paul and his family with be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you Paul and your family

I am still deeply saddened by the news of Paul's passing. I have so many fond memories of our friendship which dates back to grade school. In all the years behind us, time apart didn't matter. When we did see each other our friendship was immediately rekindled as if nothing had changed between us.
The picture you chose is exactly how I will always remember Paul and I can still hear the joy and laughter in his voice. Unfortunately I cannot be at his funeral service as I am traveling but my deepest sympathy on his passing is expressed to his entire family.

I am so sad to hear of Paul's passing. He was a wonderful and kind man . The last time I saw him was at the Huekelau Restaurant 1972 reunion four years ago...he was standing behind me with his beautiful wife, and I heard him say, "Hello Lynda" and I turned to see his beautiful smiling face. Peace be with his family. RIP sweet man.

My condolences to the family and friends on the passing of Paul. Paul was a former classmate and teammate on the Longmeadow High School Football team back in the 1970's. Paul was also a good friend. When ever we got together we always talked about the old days at LHS and growing up playing sports. He had many many friends. He always had a smile on his face and he never had a bad word to say about anyone. This is a huge loss to everyone who knew him. I am sad and will always remember Paul as a kind and gentle man. He was taken from us way too early. I don't think any of his friends from LHS will ever forget him. I know I won't. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bitters family. R.I.P, Paul.
