My wife and son and I lived in Watertown in the late ninties and were congregants at St. Patrick's. When Johnny would get fidgetty during Mass, we would let him climb the stairs to the choir loft and watch "Mithta White" at work. Paul was always gracious and kind toward the Johnny. When Mass was over, he would sometimes give the lad an impromptu music lesson and let him fiddle around with the keyboard. We have cherished the memories of those Sunday mornings ever since and we always will. RIP, oh good and faithful servant.

Remember
by Christina Rossetti
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Dear Josephine, Maria and family,
My sincerest sympathies to you and your family over the sudden passing of Paul. What a shocking tragedy and loss to you and to St. Patrick's.

He was a gifted and talented musician, singer and composer whose gifts enhanced the liturgies at St. Pat's for many years. It's truly the end of an era.

I had to move away at the end of June, but my heart will always hear the beautiful hymns and singing from my 30 years at St. Pats.

Many prayers and blessings to you all and much love,

Sincerely,
Ginette Gallant

Paul was a gifted musician and more importantly a generous man with his time and talents. When my brother, Fr. Steve, was pastor, I had the opportunity on a few occasions to sing with Paul accompanying me. It was always a pleasure! He always had a smile on his face. My condolences to the his family and the community of St. Patrick's. Thank you Paul for your many years of service to the music ministry of the church. Your absence is a great loss!

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your dear loved one. God's words at 1 Corinthians 15:26 says The last enemy de53ath, is brought to nothing. God hates death. He has a yearning to end it. ( Isaiah 25:8) May God's words bring some comfort to you and your family. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dearest Josephine and family,
Paul is now the Heavenly choir director in Heaven. His first song will be, "Here I am Lord." Paul is not dead, he rests in the arms of Jesus. They say God only takes the best, and Paul was a man of faith and love for His Lord. Paul was a man that loved his wife and children, and Paul is a man that we all loved. The song Be not afraid, reminds us of what we all have to look forward to when our time comes. Sleep well tonight Josephine, Paul is just a dream away, and sleep well tonight, his love will always remain within your heart and soul.

Love,
Jeff Christopher

Dear Mr. White,
Thank you for making me love music, even thought I was awful at singing....and yes, I do regret not learning how to play the piano - you were right. Thank you for putting up with us all those years at St. Pats. music class after music class. You will forever be remembered in the hearts of those you taught.

My deepest condolences to the White family...may memories make you smile. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Jo and Family,
We were very saddened to hear of Paul's passing. We send lots of hugs and comfort your way. I will never forget his amazing God given musical gifts. Paul use to accompany our small choral group called "Smile" in high school. His playing inspired me so much that I honestly thought I was given the privilege to sing with one of God's angels. Though we were only able to meet once during the years since high school, his friendship and the love of music we share together never ceased in my heart. Thank you Paul for serving Christ in His church all these years. God's many blessings to the family.

I am so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. He was a mainstay of St. Patrick's. I worked with him when I taught at St. Pat's in 85-89, and he was the organist/singer at my wedding. I moved from Watertown in 1989, but whenever I have returned to that church for whatever reason, he was always up in the choir loft. Hearing his voice always made me smile and brought back many fond memories.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Dear Jo, Maria, Daniel and the many who have been privileged to know Paul for decades at St. Patrick's, having only known Paul for a short but blessed time, directed by him for two years in the choir, my own incredible sadness and loss makes me pray more for all of you. Paul and Jo's love and faith, shared so generously and unconditionally through gifts of music, heart, their time, and their lives in service of our beautiful faith and one another, have enriched so very many lives. With a prayer that memories of joy with gratitude for Paul's life help ease the pain of heavy sorrow and loss in so many hearts today, thank you Paul!
