not running around kissing and telling like some others on here but he is gravely missed the Boardy Barn was never the same. working out at the health club was never the same...etc etc...

Never forgotten.  Happy Birthday dearest Paul.  Love to the family.

We only worked together for a short time but in that time you taught me so much about the industry and life. I think of you time to time still and at times I wish I could pick up the phone for advice because I miss our morning touch bases while you always had your oatmeal or you helping me pick out sneakers for my boyfriend because you were so good at that stuff and a real true "sneaker head". I remember the stories you would tell me about your kids and how proud they made you. Even after you left, we kept in touch and we always would look out for one another in this industry, I will never understand why god took you so soon but know you are sorely missed Paul. Each time I am out , I hear  that one song that you always told me reminded you of someone special and for that brief moment, I think it is a sign from you. RIP xo

A year ago tomorrow and it's still so very hard to believe you have passed.
The twins are doing Great (all things considered of course). They both thrived in their first year of Middle School.
Morgan was an A+ student and Gav not far behind.
Gav is doing better than ever at Lacrosse he is playing hard and with greater confidence.
You would be VERY proud  of them!!
I have yet to even remotely come to an understanding of death....the fragility of life and the finality of death....
I'm writing this with the hope that you somehow will see it and know that  you are thought of and sorely missed!
RIP PJ

I worked with Paul for less than a year but even in this brief time, his personality really shone. He was always the life of the party (which I am sure you all know is typical Paul!) For this busy, active man, it struck me how family oriented he remained. As much as he spoke about his busy exciting active life style, he spoke just as happily about his kids and their activities. I am sure this man with this outstanding personality will never be forgotten.

To My Beloved Son Paul, I have not written any words yet as I am having a very hard time without you,my beautiful son. It has been 3 months since you have gone to be with the Lord. I don`t know what to say except that I am still in disbelief and in shock that you are no longer with us. You were the most healthiest man I knew, you had a zest for life with a contagious smile and laugh.You were a wonderful son,you were always loving and respectful to me. I was always so very proud of you and all your accomplishments.I thank you for your 2 beautiful children Gavin & Morgan as they will always be a part of you that I will always love and cherish.I promise to keep all of the wonderful memories that we have of you alive. I have a lot more to say about you,and I will write again. For now I will say you are sorely  missed, but will never be forgotten! I love you soooo my boy and I always will R.I.P.  xoxoxo Love, Mom

To Paul's wife I don't know you personally, but I would like to give you my apologies for your great loss as your twins also. Paul as you knew him was a great guy, but I don't have to tell you. I just wanted to thank you for keeping this open to people like me who are still in disbelief that he is gone, I am from the pit of my heart so sorry for you and your children my prayers are on the daily for your hearts to find peace with this terrible loss. I am very very sorry

I'm so saddened to learn of Paul's passing.  To family and loved ones, he was special and I'm sure I don't have to tell you that. I went to college with Paul at SUNY Cortland, we never saw each other after our years there. But... I never forgot him. I remember picking him up one night with a bunch of us when he was pledging, he was beyond appreciative. I also remember a bunch of us were taking care of him when he had the flu and his Mom sent us a box of chocolates. He had a zest for life and he was a sweet human being, God will keep him close. I will say prayers for him and all his loved ones. I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm sure if there is a way which I believe there is, Paul will be watching over and protecting all the people that he so dearly loved. Be looking for his sweet signs. Love and peace

Paul, my dear friend... You're  gone but i'll never forget you... First time we met you told me this: You'll be back in Italy but you'll never forget me... and we became friends.... So now i ca said, i'll never forget you and your contagious smile. I'm happy to been part of your life....I was waiting for you this summer in Italy, to rock the summer together.... Now don't be shy, come and meet me every night in my dreams....My prayers to your kids and family... RIPOSA IN PACE AMICO MIO.... Rest in Reace! Love you forever and miss you....

Paul,

I don't believe you're gone, because your Light shone far too bright to ever dim.  
It is all around us, more than ever.  Thank you.
Thank you for being my friend. I will miss you terribly.  I am forever grateful.

You always reached for the stars, Paul, & now you're one of them. Fly high, Angel.  xoxo

Peace & Love to you, your Family & Loved Ones, & to all of our Friends.

You will be missed Paul, but you will never be forgotten. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to be a friend of yours. Great times playing hockey with you and growing up together. RIP my good friend.

I've known Paul since I was born. We were very close growing up. I have great memories of him as a child. Im sorry we lost touch over the years. I will take the memories with me. The strongest memory I have is how happy and full of life he was. RIP Paul.

Thank you for being unapologetically weird, unconditionally kind and such a wonderful influence in my life during our short time together on earth. I look forward to the day we meet again in heaven to continue our budding friendship. Forever sending prayers and love to all of the beautiful people touched by your incredible life. Missing you now and always, Paul.

Pauly jake my man...wont forget all our hockey tourney road trips and my trips into the city to hang...my thoughts and prayers go out to your family and children...RIP PAULY JAKE MY MAN

My husband and I met you only once after the Belmont Stakes this year through our mutual friend, Zach. You made us laugh and we enjoyed stories around the love of our children. My heart aches at your loss. I know you will shine your bright light around your family and friends that will miss you deeply. Especially those that will miss that daily interaction. I will continue to pray for your children and know they will honor their wonderful father. Rest in Peace kind soul. My deepest sympathy to all of your beloveds!

Paul, you were a great guy and you will be missed. You were the first person I met after moving in next door, we were both headed out for a ride on a gorgeous sunny day. You were always happy, quick with a smile and greeting. The world has just lost a truly nice guy.

We just came back from John Varvatos fashion show, and we are very shocked and saddened with the news of your passing.  We just met you on Thursday last week, and you were such an energetic person, and your enthusiasm rubbed on us.  For some time, we could not and did not want to believe what we read and  felt very unsettling.  Our thoughts are with you and your family. Rano & Miranda

Just Following My Tribute to Paul over FaceBook , In prayer i asked Paul to send me what is called a "God Wink". A Sign. I walked up to the corner hot dog vender and purchased a bottle of coke and drank it. I than tossed it into the corner garbage pail. I missed it as the bottle just nicked the rim. Not to be looked upon as the litter bug I retrieved the bottle from the street. Upon picking the bottle up i took note of the "god wink". This sent a chill down my spine. This was a comforting sign and a powerful message.. As you see some bottles are worth saving and refilling.To my surprise the Bottle came with a personal touch.The Bottle is labeled "Share a Coke with Paul". For the one day that I worked with Paul at Coca Cola For me this "God Wink" has great meaning and reinforces Paul"s message in life. "Live your life to the fullest"  ; )

We met Paul, Morgan and Gavin for a few New Year's in Antigua. We played volleyball with him, spent New Year with him and his family and thoroughly enjoyed his company.  We are so shocked of his untimely death and even though we are miles away our hearts go out to his Mum and children.  Our thoughts are with you all and we will never forget Paul.

Paul. We only met once. At last years Killington Ski Trip with Mark Timperio, Dom, Chicken, Roark, Adam, Troy, Wolffie, and the rest of the crew. It was my first one with the group.  I took a liking to you right away. I could tell you were a genuine guy. I remember talking to you about your job and your kids and how much they meant to you. I know they will miss you dearly as will the rest of your family and friends. I don't look forward to it, but I know we are going to go back to Killington this year and we will all be thinking about you and will be wishing you were there. We will drink a toast to your memory and crush Patsy's run, hopefully in some powder which I hope you will deliver for us! R.I.P.

_Gary Murad, Boston

For your Ava family you are a true friend that will be missed

Paul, you where a great a guy and great friend you will be missed.

I remember Paul as one of the first people to welcome me to CHS as I entered in my junior, his senior year. He always flashed that amazing smile and waive to the lost new girl in the hallways and made it just a bit easier to negotiate my way.  Whenever I have thought of Paul over the years, it has always made me smile.  I know he is flashing that great, welcoming, confident smile down on his family from heaven.  You are all in my prayers.

Paul..it has been a long time since we saw each other, but you will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest peacefully

Paul, you will be missed buddy. You were taken way too soon from us. Until we meet again 
Wolffie

Such a great guy! Met a handful of times but always approached things as if we had known each other for years. Terrible loss. No doubt we will meet again and he will be friends with everyone... RIP Brother!! Prayers to his family and loved ones....

Since I heard the news, I have been flooded with memories that are, unbelievably, almost thirty years old but feel as though they happened yesterday.

Your energy and spirit will live on in your children and I know your smile will light their entire lives. Rest in peace, my friend...

Paul you will be missed deeply. You will be with here in spirit, love and strength for your family and friends, Rest in peace Paul.

Since hearing the news I've been flooded with memories that, unbelievably, are now nearly thirty years old but seem like yesterday. Your spirit will live on in your children and I know you'll be lighting their lives with your smile. Rest in peace, Paul...

My deepest condolences and prayers for Paul and his entire family . Paul was one of the warmest  and kindest people in our industry.  He loved his children deeply and shared that with those around him.  Our hearts are broken  . May he rest in peace .

On a cold day back in November in 1995 Paulie Jake as we knew him scored what be the lone goal in a 1-0 victory in a major dek hockey tournament. For those of you who don't know, dek hockey is a silly game in which men chase a ball around on foot. Paul didn't play with us for very long but he did have an impact. To my recollection that could very well have been his last tournament with us and maybe even his last ever. When we heard of his passing this weekend the handful of us who were currently at a dek hockey tournament all these years later had a sense of a loss of a man who was good at what he did no matter what it was. I am sure I do not know him even half as much as most who have posted today but I can tell you I personally can not find anyone who did not feel sick when they heard the news regardless of how short of time they may have been in his company.

Rest in peace my friend.  I will always remember your great smile and positive energy that you always shared.  You will be missed by all who knew you.

Paul, thank you for all the laughs and good times on our annual boys ski trip to Vermont. You were always the first one down the mountain and the last one off the mountain at the end of the day. Your beard would be covered in ice. Rest Easy my friend. - Roark

It was only for a short time that Paul and I were acquaintances, yet he left me with a long lasting impression. One which I will never forget. No words can describe the emptiness one feels with the absence of Paul. Paul lived his life to the fullest. He did hold back. He brought this vigor wherever he went and made every one realize how precious it was. Paul is in good hands now, with his creator. God bless his whole family at this time. My heart felt condolences go out to you.

Paul, it's such a tragic loss you will not be with us. Your spirit, love and strength will always be with us. I know you watching over your family and friends with smiles, love and guidance. May you rest in peace Paul.

Michael S. Zarb (Chicago, IL/CHS'87)

I only knew Paul for a short time and loved working with him. He was always smiling and enjoyed every moment I spent with him. May you rest in peace my friend. Will always keep you in my prayers and never forget our brief friendship. Prayers to his family.

Praying the Eternal Light you now bestow will shine forever within your loved ones hearts.  May God Bless you, Paul & keep you in the palm of his hands.  Rest in peace.

I have been friends with Diane, his mother,  since Paul was 4 months old.  He was such a beautiful little boy who grew up to be beautiful man.  He was everything a mother could ask for in a son.  She was so proud of him and his accomplishments in life.  Rest in Peace Paul.  You will always be remembered but never forgotten.

Rest in peace Paul.  You are a great friend and will never be forgotten... We had some great times over the last 15 years. My thoughts and prayers for your family. 

Jeff Block

A beautiful man both inside and out...a life that touched so many. Paul you had a unique way of making everyone feel special. You will be loved and remembered always. May God bless your children and family. Rest in peace.

I met Paul when I was just 17 years old and I was working at the gym he used to go to. We became fast friends. He was one of those people who I didn't have to see or speak to all the time, but I knew he was always there. From Long Island, both of us then went on and moved to NYC and continued our friendship through the years. We even lived on the same street for awhile. His zest for life was contagious... he was always onto the next adventure. I could barely keep up with all his stories, there were always so many of them and they were always so entertaining. He always reached out to check in and see how I was doing and always gave me great advice when I needed it. We shared so many laughs and a lot of wonderful memories throughout the 22 years that I have known him. There are a bunch of songs that whenever I hear, I immediately think of Paul. One that keeps popping into my head is 'Higher State of Consciousness' by Josh Wink. I would like to believe that he is in a higher state of consciousness right now. I am so heartbroken by this loss and cannot begin to imagine the grief that his family and children are enduring at this time. My heart goes out to all of you. Sending lots of prayers and love.
Paul, I know I didn't see you all the time but you will be missed. Until we meet again on the other side... xoxo

My memory  of Paul is  limited  to  our high school  years and the many mutual  friends  we shared. That being said, I  never heard or spoke a negative  word of this man. Every encounter  was friendly  and warm. From the outside ,  he seemed to be one the real good guys who lived to the best of his capabilities .  My heart goes out to his family  and friends  who will miss him most on a daily  basis . Your struggles will not be denied. Peace and love! Joseph D'Andrea

My condolences to his children and family. May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Paul's family. For his children, you will see how loved your daddy is through all the kind words and sorrow expressed by his many friends. My wish for you is that when you need him near, you feel a soft breeze or recall a sweet memory that reminds you he will be with you forever.

Paul I never knew this would be the last photo I would ever take of you but it doesn't surprise me at all that you were smiling and having a great time.  Our yearly ski trips to Vermont will never be the same without you brother.

Paul, words can not describe how much I am going to miss you!!  You were like a brother to me!!  I am going to miss all of our long long talks all of the laughs and some tears!!!  Your a beautiful person inside and out and I am a better person because I knew you!!  Thank you for all the years of friendship!!  Love and miss you!!
Robyn

I only Paul for a short time in the recent months but what I do know is that he was a kind, wise and generous man. I was so fortunate to get to know him and his stories will live with me forever. Rest in Peace Paul

I only knew you for month, but in that small time I gained a good friend. Rest in paradise Paul....

Dedrick Kirkem

Paul was a great co-worker and even though it was short, he taught me so much. I will never forget our time together and his wonderful energy and contagious smile. You will be greatly missed, much love and prayers to his children and family.

So very saddened that your earthly presence is no more. You lived your life to the fullest on a daily basis, and brought light and love to everyone that knew you. May that love and light continue on in your two beautiful children. I have no doubt that will be the case as they have your million dollar smile, those enchanting eyes, and love of life. Rest in peace my friend.

Finding out yesterday that you had passed away was pretty rough to deal with.  I didn't know you long.  But you were an amazing guy.  Funny.  A hard worker.  Just all around greatness.  I'm sad we didn't get to know each other further but I know you're being taken care of now by the best person that can; The Almighty.  Walk with Him.  Condolences and Peace be unto your family. From your colleague, Miguel. Rest in Peace, Paul.

Rest in peace dear friend. Until we meet again and I see that smile,  you and yours will be in my thoughts.

Paul was a great friend & a good soul. I was proud to be his friend & have great memories of him when we were kids . Taken too soon but living forever in our hearts.

Heartbreaking
God Bless your family and may your soul rest easy-

Paul was one of a kind.. his personality was above and beyond his famous good looks... he lived life to the fullest and should be an inspiration to all...prayers to his children and family...Shannon Sabbatino (Jamesport)

I was saddened to hear the news last night. Paul has not been a part of my life the past 25yrs. but was a big influence in my early childhood up until my family moved away when I was 10yrs. old. I'd like to think he knew how much I looked up to him, how I idolized him, how he helped shape the foundation of the person I am today. For a teenager to "put up with" the little kid next door, always wanting to ask him questions, help work on his bike, just bug the heck out of him. It takes a kind person to be that tolerant of a little guy. I wish I had the same patience for my own kids as he showed me as one. From what I have heard he continued to grow into a good person; a good man. I wish I could have told him this. Life is a bunch of wishes. He was a wish come true to those who's lives he touched. My thoughts are with his family, his friends, and all those who will miss him. Thank you for having been a positive part of my life. Thank you, Paul. May you enjoy whatever the world has for you beyond us.

It is with a heavy heart that I wish you love as you journey to the eternal realm. We will all see you on the other side. Love and light to your children and your entire family. You will forever be missed.

May your spirit live on in all the lives you touched. Prayers are being said for your family and all your friends . Help us find peace & strength knowing you're with us. You were just taken too soon. Rest in peace.

Well I don't know where to begin I'm still in a state of shock, I dated Paul in high school for a short time kept in touch through face book. It's such a loss for everyone who knows him my regards go to his family and children. I am very very sorry for your loss.

This is beyond sad.. I really can't believe it. I haven't known Paul for that long but it really only takes two seconds to know what a special and great person he was. Every time I've hung out with him he was always the most alive person in the room. I saw him two weeks ago at Soho House and we were laughing, joking, taking shots and having so much fun. His positive energy was so contagious on everyone around him. It's so hard to believe he's gone. R.I.P Paul . My heart goes out to his family and children.

I remember the day he and his moved in the house next to ours and all the girls in the neighborhood were swooning over this young man. He was incredibly handsome, even back then. He, Doug, and my brothers would tear around the neighborhood on their bikes.  Not too mention the many races in the park.  God keep watch over his family.

although i haven't seen paul in a while, to me that never really mattered

Thinking of Paul Jacobsen ( Paul the Model ).In 1986 a young man with model looks named Paul Jacobsen approached me at the front door of Carrington's Bar / Restaurant of Stony Brook. With no openings I found it hard to say no. I immediately created a job and put him to work on the spot. Paul's position was to monitor the stairwell entrance to the upper level night club. Once the club filled to capacity Paul went into action . It was one person out one person in. With his good looks this was a difficult task. Paul found it difficult as one person would exit he would schmooze a group females in. Within time Paul "Mr Likeable" was know as Paul the model. I Placed him at the front door as a greeter. He was a magnet and his looks and personality drew the crowds. The thing is Paul never saw himself as being a model. In the early 1990's i explained to Paul that I will be placing him in a bartenders position on Tuesday Free Beer night. Paul replied back to me "I dont't know how to bartend. I said to Paul "can you crack open a bottle of beer?. Paul answered "Yes". I certified him on the spot a bartender. On the opening night his first customer walked in . Paul took his order and turned to me and asked me "What goes in a gin and tonic ? " ( LOL ). His knowledge of the bar kicked in and with his looks he captivated his Suffolk County audience. His overall character was a key and a factor to the overall success of The Business. He may have lacked intital bartending skills However I believed in him and the success that would follow in his wake. In 1998 Paul returned the favor. Paul being an executive for the Coca-Cola Corporation expedited my application to oversee Coca -Cola merchandising for the Hamptons. On my first day working for Coca-Cola it would be memorable as it would be Paul's last day working for Coca-Cola. As i and Paul were in a Hamptons supermarket a man turned to Paul and asked him to reach for a bottle of diet coke. Paul reached and handed The man his bottle of coke. The Man explained to Paul that he has Model Looks and that he is in need of Models. That man was Giorgio Armani. Paul Quit and left me hanging down a supermarket isle.The rest is History. My Friend Paul became a rising star for The Giorgio Armani Corporation. I recently ran into Paul The model in NYC on his April Fools Birthday. He said "Bill you have Friends and you have true friends and Bill Your a true friend". Paul Thank you for being my "True Friend ".
