I am deeply saddened to hear that my long time friend from teen years and SOYO conventions, dear Paul Saba, has fallen asleep in the Lord. He even lived with my wife and I when he first moved to Louisville, KY while I was a priest there. May God comfort you Molly and family. MEMORY ETERNAL!

I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Paul. He had a huge heart, and people were just naturally drawn to him. Whenever we went anywhere together, I would marvel at how he met everyone within five minutes. Five minutes after that, everybody was laughing and having fun as though they had known each other forever. People liked him so much because he genuinely liked people, let them know that he was happy to be with them and made them feel good about themselves. I cannot think of a better legacy, and I will miss him very much. Rest in peace, Uncle Paul. With lots of love, Cathie
