“When Sherry told me of your passing, I immediately thought of that cute classic car that as a little kiddo I thought was just so cool! Who could forget those block parties! A simpler time and a cherished one that you helped shape. Those years were my Wonder Years. May the universe carry you well into the other side. Peace, Drew”

“As I pray for you, Joyce, and your family in your grief I think back 50 years to when we became neighbors. Your and Paul’s girls welcomed ours that day we moved two houses from you, our friendship growing over the many years we were neighbors and continuing over the years. As you cherish your memories, know that we too are remembering Paul’s smile, the wonderful father he was, the pride he took in his children, his fun at the yearly block party and neighborhood New Year’s Eve parties (where we all listened with him to Frank Sinatra records), and his red Thunderbird. We have never forgotten Paul’s kindness and neighborly help. The touching visitation, seeing all the pictures of Paul’s life over the many years, was a sweet and loving tribute to a good man. Sally and Sam Sovilla”

“I have never listened to Frank Sinatra and not thought of you. You did it your way for sure! You weren’t just my best friend Kim’s Dad, you were the patriarch of Burline HIlls, and part of my second family for my entire childhood! Thank you. We will never forget you and love you. I will be rooting for your Bengals tomorrow, even though I am a lifelong Brown’s fan! Rest Easy, Mr. Brill. Until we meet again.”
