  1. Dear Lynn, Robert, Ryan, Allison and James
    In so many ways your father worked to make this world a better place. I am sure he now has a wonderful reward in heaven.. You have my condolences.

  2. Pustelnik Family… Had the joy of playing softball with Paul for several years and thought of him as a great friend. My heart breaks at this news and you are all in my thoughts and prayers. He was a great guy and I’ll miss him.

    1. Paul was a great guy , calming influence , and recently in the last couple years very inspirational and lover of life. I too was a teammate for several years on that softball team and considered Paul a good friend ! My condolences to his family , he is much missed ! -Larry Zavis

  3. Paul was an amazing guy. I played little league with him and years later on the same softball team with Larry and Drew. Always in a good mood with a smile on his face. He will be missed. I will have all of Paul’s family in my prayers.

  4. I am so sad to hear of Paul’s passing. We were neighborhood friends and shared a love of music. When Pink Floyd’s The Wall came out in 1979, he and I wore the album out in his basement. As the others have said, he was always a kind and gentle soul. Shine on you crazy diamond.

  5. I am so deeply, deeply sorry. Paul was a rare gift to this world. I am forever changed by knowing him and my heart is broken.

  6. I had the honor of working with Paul at a small software company in Naperville IL for a few years. Paul was a joy to work with. So very creative, insightful, and thoughtful, he brought a calming sense of peace to our team. I will always remember his genuine smile and kindness. My deepest condolences to his family.

  7. Paul was an amazing teacher and friend. My heart breaks for his four children whom he loved more than anything. He would beam with pride when talking about them at work. I’ll miss his pop culture references and his ability to completely change your mood with his smile. He is already extremely missed.

    I hope you’ve found your peace, my friend.
    Love,
    Deanna
