My brother Paul; 11th anniversary of losing him

Phil (brother #4) posted this picture of Tom, Jim and Paul (Phil hadn’t arrived yet …). Must have been when I was in the 7th or eighth grade. I have no recollection of this picture and certainly no recollection of Paul’s Commodore outfit. He’d have been five or six years old.

Paul died at the age of 47 after a lifetime of illness. Here’s what I posted 11 years ago. Tom Faranda’s Folly: Paul Faranda, 1958-2005 

As my brother Jim said about him, “He lead a noble life.”

    Feel so lucky to have met him. The Faranda men are all so unique…the Faranda women, too.
