My deepest sympathy and condolences go out to the Buongiorno and Scioscia families. May God comfort you and surround your family with his loving embrace. Sleep in peace Paul, you will truly be missed. It was a pleasure working with you a ICON and with our Direct Response Billing team.
Paul,
I loved getting to know you through the years at ICON and cherished the friendship we had outside the office. We were always able to nerd out together with our mutual interest in various video games and TV shows. You’d always send me goofy pictures of Zelda that would make me laugh.
Thank you for always being a supportive and endearing friend. I hope you are at peace.
With Love,
Alyssa Chelak

To my little brother Paul,
You were and will always be the better half of me. I’m sorry it took so long to write you a tribute but I’ve been so utterly devastated I couldn’t find the right words. It’s difficult to even look at pictures of you or listen to the hundreds of voice messages we sent each other over the years. You and I had a deeply special connection only you and I could share. We shared all the same interests and bonded over our love of old school wrestling, sports teams, horror movies, and video games. You were such a great brother/best friend and I will be forever grateful for the 3 decades I had with you. I will always miss every little thing about you man. Until we meet again, and we will. Give Blue some pets for me. I love you Paulie. Rest easy
-Perry (Cleese)
