Paul Fazio’s “Living Eulogy”

Posted by

On September 21st, at the R-UTN Annual Picnic, our membership had the honor of celebrating the 100th birthday of Paul Fazio. As part of the celebration, Glenn Baldwin “Living Eulogy” to honor Paul. Glenn’s last word were exceptionally meaningful –

“Eulogies are usually delivered at funerals and memorial services. Nice, but not very helpful to the departed. Why not say nice things to honor someone who’s still with us? On his 100th birthday, Paul Fazio deserves this living eulogy and all the respect, affection, gratitude, and friendship we have for him.”

The full text of Glenn’s tribute can be read on our Member News Page. Thank-you Glenn for this very special “eulogy.”
