| About | Paul was killed in a motorcycle accident August 20, 2007. My brother was my best friend and a man I admired for how he lived his life. Paul was fun-plain and simple. He enriched the Marine Corp with his dedication and he enriched everyone in my family's lives. He was an outstanding father, brother, uncle, and son. Paul became a true American hero serving 20 years in the Marine Corp., with over 5 deployments in dangerous conflicts or wars. He received numerous awards and commendations for his efforts in the Corp, and his love for the Corp was only surpassed by the love for his family. He was the best man I know, and I am grateful for the time I had with him and saddened by the years I won't have with him. I know he left this life with no regrets and I also know that my life and the lives of those who were touched by Paul's humor, patience, sincerety, friendship and love were all the better for it. I will miss him every day of my life. Laura Quickenton O'Connor |
