This is not just a biker event – we would like to see you in any vehicle – cars, trucks, RVs – if you knew Paulie, this is the time to come out and show your love. And speaking of love and support, the family can use your financial assistance to help defray the funeral expenses. They will accept cash donations – however, if you would like to make a substantial donation in Paulie’s name, please send a check to Amory Funeral Home at the address shown above. We hope to see as many of Paulie’s friends as possible. Be loud, be proud and make him cry – you know how emotional he was. On behalf of Paulie’s family, we look forward to seeing you on Friday.

Dad didn’t want a wake or a funeral. He wanted a big party and for us all to listen to music and tell stories about him. He wanted us to remember the grumpy old man that was dirty-minded, and disgruntled when he turned 70 because he couldn’t tell anyone he was 69 with that mischievous smile anymore. We will have the party as soon as the governor lifts the ban on gatherings of more than 10 people. If you want to come celebrate his life, or death, you will hear about the arrangements thru the Bull Island grapevine.
