I am blessed to have known Paul Rigali.  There is no doubt that Paul has earned his special place in heaven.  A Godly man, quietly expressed through good deeds.  His presents commanded respect but, if you were lucky enough, you saw the kind-hearted man behind the stern manager.  A good man, great leader, and a dear friend.   Paul you will be missed.  My sincere condolences to the family, loved ones and everyone that had the privilege to work for Paul.

My brother Paul like to tell the story when my grandfather took him to the racetrack the first time Hollywood Park in Los Angeles my father was not especially excited that Paul was going to the racetrack so he came along with my grandfather and Paul , my grandfather gave some money to my father and told him to put it all down on a certain horse to win however my father being the conservative man that he was he only put half of the money down and of course the horse won the race. This was a story that Paul liked to recount and I think this is what got him started in the horse racing business. What a great story I envy my brother for his friendship with my grandfather and my father. All three of them now can bet on the races sitting on a cloud up there 
God bless my brother and his family and friends.

Paul was my boss at BofA. Lots of people saw him as stern and all business but I  can remember  many times when we were all able to share in some fun time with Paul.
 He will be missed.
My sincere condolences to the family  and friends and  his Bank of America  associates.

So many memories I just cant put them into words, I am saddened to hear of the  passing of a great Leader and a father figure to our  Bank of America family.  I will always be grateful for all the opportunities and advice  he gave me confidence and encouragement he believed in  me even when I didn’t believe in myself taught me so much in the Leadership world told me I could  do all things when I put my mind and heart into it , I poured my heart out to him and genuinely listened and cared about his team not just as a leader or mentor but as a father figure. My heart is sadden to hear he passed. All I could do was go down memory lane and shed tears for a great man who truly made a positive and powerful impact in my life. Someone who I respected as a Leader and a father figure in a workplace. Praying for his family and all who loved him.

Paul was a beloved mentor, father figure, and friend. Paul was an extraordinary individual whose leadership training and guidance have left an indelible mark on all who knew him. He was a shining example of strength, kindness, and wisdom, and his presence will be deeply missed.

Paul's legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched and the lessons he imparted. His open doors and unwavering support paved the way for so many, including myself, and I am forever grateful for his guidance and friendship.

Though Paul may no longer be with us in body, his spirit and teachings will continue to inspire and guide us. He will be remembered fondly and missed dearly by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Rest in peace, dear Paul. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.

I am shocked and saddened to hear the news of Paul’s passing. The first time we met was in a room full of boxes. He was dressed casually; I had no idea he was there to interview me. He kept pestering me to sit down, and I ignored him, even being rude, until I noticed he was holding my resume. We had a good laugh and instantly became friends. Larger than life,  he could be intimidating but he was also very kind. One day when I had no lunch, no car, and no time to grab something to eat—Paul gave me his sandwich in an inter-office envelope. Paul always made time for a laugh as he made his walk around in the morning. I won't forget the time we spent at the racetrack, he taught me how to read the racing guide and how to place my bets. Paul was a commanding presence who garnered attention and respect, he was a good leader, boss and friend. I imagine he is walking through heaven, jingling the change in his pocket with that big grin on his face telling all the other angels he is “Peachy-keen-o-rino-swell”  Rest in peace, Paul, you will be missed.  To the family, my sincere condolences. Selena Maruska
