Paul

his very close friends.
"I want to think that in my life I'm going to be a
friend like Paul was to
me..."

Following are some
of Paul's friends' words, thoughts and prayers.
May 27, 2007 7:51PM
Hello Mr. Farris,
Please let me start by expressing my deepest sympathy for you and your family. I
can't imagine what you must be going through, really. I knew Paul for only a short time.
I interviewed him for the job he just started two weeks ago, and was amazed in
every way with him...I knew before the interview was over that I had to hire him, and furthermore,
I wanted him in my unit, and he did start and join my unit. I've worked at MetLife Auto & Home
for 23 years...I started there when I was 21. I was nothing like him when I was his age. I've never
interviewed anyone like him. But I don't have to tell you, he was your son. I have 3 sons of my
own, ages 5, 9 and 11. I went home after working with Paul after a few days and told my sons all
about him, and how amazing this "new guy" was, and how inspired I was by him, and how lucky they
would be to grow up to be like him. He was just perfect - smart, motivated, outgoing, handsome,
talented, friendly...everything a 23 year old could possibly be. Yes, I only knew him two weeks,
but he really touched me, and I am deeply saddened by this.
I didn't know how to contact you, since the office was closed for the holiday,
so I found Cathy Cella through Google. She gave me your cell phone number, too, but honestly, I
could not speak to you right now without breaking down.
I am interested in any arrangements that will be made, and I will, of course
notify the proper contacts in the Human Resources Dept to contact you. Again, I am so sorry for
your and your family's loss. If you need to reach me, my work number is. My cell # is, and my work
email is. This is my home email, which you can also use. If there is absolutely anything I can do
for you, please let me know, anything.

Dear Roberta,
No one could possibly expect you to be up and doing with things like email at an
awful time like this, but I just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you that I'll be flying
home from New York on Friday for Paul's memorial service this weekend, and I'm really looking
forward to giving you a big hug. You, J, and S have been constantly in my thoughts and prayers
since Sunday.
I sent your family a longer expression of my sympathy in the mail yesterday, but
let me just say this: you raised a wonderful son who had only too recently become a wonderful man.
Paul was one of the most genuinely kind people I've ever met, and I hope you're very, very proud of
that--Paul accomplished many impressive things, but to me the most outstanding was his unfaltering
kindness and compassion towards others. I am proud to have known him.
Mourn how you need to mourn. Heal how you need to heal. I know I speak for my
family and all of Paul's friends when I say our community is here for whatever you need. Lean on
us, and please know that Paul lives on in a million happy memories in many grateful hearts.
Personal Notes for Paul
V. Farris from partingwishes.com
Paul, you were loved by all who knew you. I will cherish every memory I have of
our friendship, especially Dane Cook, handle bar moustaches, and my secret trips to hangout with
you and the guys. Love you always, until we meet again.
Added by Janice
I can't believe you're gone. I had heard something about a crash up in
Somerville but didn't really think anything of it until they showed a picture of you on the
television. I'm in shock. I know we hadn't hung out in a couple months, and I look back and wish I
could amend that. I'll miss you kiddo and I'll always look back on the times we spent together
fondly. Whether it was jamming at shows or just hanging out. Rest in peace.
Added by Shanny
I never met Paul but I was home the night of the accident which took place
across the street from my family's house. My prayers go out to all of Paul's friends and family.
The neighborhood of Highland and Kidder share your grief and pray for Paul's eternal life. We are
so very sorry for your loss.
Added by Diane
Paul was the most amazing person I have ever met. He could make everyone smile
and light up a room. He was brilliant and talented. He will never be forgotten.

I had only met you a couple of times but I could tell just by those brief
moments that you were an incredibly sweet, outgoing, and caring person. It pains me to know that
something so terrible could happen to someone as nice as you. My heart goes out to your family and
friends, may you rest in peace
Added by Nicole
I did not know Paul, but I witnessed the chase and I feared that it would end in
tragedy knowing my busy neighborhood streets. It pains me that at that very moment when the SUV
flew past my car that Paul was still alive, and yet within moments something terrible had happened.
I am truly sorry for the friends and families of Paul and Kate. May Paul's memory live on
forever.
Added by Well Wisher
I'd have to say there was only a handful of times I saw Paul, but we did know
each other... Paul and Kate were always so much fun to hang out with. Paul, It's just not right
what happened. Just know that everyone down here will always remember the good times. RIP. Kate,
keep strong, its only up from here...

Farris Family,
May the Lord show you His grace, love, and peace in this time of loss and
transition! Stay strong, and trust in the Lord! Remember, although it may be hard to see, He loves
you and wants to comfort you and carry you through this! Blessings and peace be with you!!

I didn't know Paul too well, but one of my favorite memories was one we shared
together. A mutual friend got us tickets for Game 2 of the World Series, and that evening will
remain etched in my mind for my entire life. I'm lucky to have shared that wonderful experience
with such a genuinely nice guy. My deepest heartfelt condolences go to his family, and I wish a
full recovery for Kate.
Added by Jordana
you were a good friend when i thought i was in the wrong place at Zephyrus. I'm
sorry we lost contact.
Added by billy
Roberta, Jon and Scott. My heart goes out to you all. The same thing happened in
my family 23 years ago when my sister (age 20) was killed in a car crash. Paul was a wonderful
person. He had the best pinewood derby cars and I was always amazed at all of his talents. Paul
touched everyone he met. This is truly a great loss for everyone.
Added by Christie, ex-neighbor
I didn't know Paul Farris. I'm a friend of his Dad's. I am outside of Paul's
sphere of influence and his music. But, based on what I see here and on MySpace, I realize it is my
loss not to have known him. For his Dad, Jon and Mom, Roberta, I shed a sincere tear over this
tragic event.
Added by Jim V
Paul, i still cant believe your gone just like that. You gave me a ton of
insight about my life and college. The experiences you told me about moving from Minnesota by
yourself made me think. The knowledge you shared with me during the interview was amazing and very
deep and has now changed my life even more. I never expected a great guy like you to go away like
that. Thank you for everything you have done for me.
Added by Pritam
From the Strawbridge family..we are all so very stunned and saddened by the
horrific loss of your dear son and brother. Words just are not enough to express how deeply sorry
we are. I know Paul rests eternally in peace and safety and that his loving eyes will forever watch
over you all. Roberta, my heart is aching for you. Love, Kris
Added by Kris
"And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together(Together)One sweet day (And all that I
know and I'll wait patiently to see you in Heaven)...Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day Yeah,Lord, I know when I lay me down to sleep You will always
listen as I pray"

Paul,
man, you were one of the few people i knew who kept to your dream in music and
even though we hadn't talked forever, it was a great comfort to know that someone else was in the
music scene with me. you were a great friend to all and a fantastic gift to the world. you are
GREATLY missed. much love

Paul, I miss you.

i never met paul but i'm friends with some of his friends. i'm so sorry for this
loss. it is such a tragic event. my prayers go out to all of you.
Added by Anonymous
I did not know you, but reading these tributes to you - I see that was my loss.
You were a bright light; that is very clear. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to all who
love you, as well as your girlfriend and the driver of the cab. Rest in peace, Paul.
Added by A Davis Sq. resident
Paul, you were the nicest, most honest person I have ever met in my entire life.
It was an honor to work with you and it was a privilege to be your friend. We miss you everyday
Paul.
Added by Jon S.
Paul,
My reaction to your death is a testament to your incredible spirit. I feel as
though I have truly lost a friend, although I doubt either of us would consider us anything close
to that. I remember you in choir, talent shows, your smile, and the unique sound of your laugh. You
are missed.
Added by Anonymous
God bless you Paul. I know you are in heaven with my uncle (the taxi-driver). I
will always keep you in my prayers.
Added by Josie
Paul, You were one of the kindest, most gentle people I had ever met. It was an
honor to work with and know you. You always had a kind word and a smile for everyone. My heart goes
out to your family. May you find peace in whatever is after...and may your family find peace and
hope here in your absence.
Added by Kathleen D
I did not know Paul very well, but in the time that I did spend with him I
immediately sensed what those closest to him have said in the wake of this tragedy. He was such a
kind and genuine person-- the type of guy that you wanted to be around, because it just made you
feel good.
Thank you Paul.. Keep rocking
Added by Anonymous
I'm so sorry for the Farris family. I was blessed with getting to know Paul
through Katelyn since I am dating her brother. She had nothing but good things to say about him and
when I finally met him I understood why. He was an amazing guy, no other way to put it. His sense
of humor had me laughing to tears. He made Katelyn feel complete and I could see it when they were
together. I pray for your family everyday.
Added by Jackie
Paul--I'm sick with grief and loss over the news of your passing. Even though
it's been years since we spent time together, my heart is with you and your family. You were one of
the most generous and kind and giving persons I have known. You brought joy and light to so many
people through your spirit and your music, and my one comfort is knowing that you are in a better
and happier place now. May you find all of the peace and joy you deserve.
Added by Emily
I still cannot believe that you are gone as I continue to try to make sense of
this horrible loss. Paul, you were such a good and kind person. You helped me out in so many ways
that I'm sure you didn't ever realize. I am confident that you are now in a place that allows you
to understand how much this world loved you and how empty it feels without you. I will always hold
on to the many happy memories that I have of you. I miss you more and more all the time.
Added by Katie S.
Paul was not only my boyfriend, but my best friend! I miss and unconditionally
love him equally with his family... I always will! *Katelyn
Katelyn: Sometimes you have to be apart from the people you love. It just makes
you love them more...
Dan: A year ago, I bawled my eyes out to Amazing Grace on the bagpipes, thinking
of you. Today, I probably won't be inconsolable, but I do miss you just as much as I did then.
Emily : Hi, Paul. I've visited this page and paulfarris.org in the past and have
thought of you often, but for some reason I haven't been able to bring myself to write anything.
It's been so long since we knew one another, but you are one of those rare people that sticks in
peoples' minds and hearts forever. Although your life was far too short, you lived it to the
fullest and touched the lives of everyone around you. I feel honored to have known you and to have
called you my friend. Thinking of you and wishing you peace and joy.
Paul M.: Drove past your house the other day buddy. Thought I'd shoot you a
hello! :)
Kate: I miss it all baby. every bit of our life together, every bit of
you...

but at times I catch my breath and cant believe I'm still breathing without you holding my hand. I
miss you.
Katelyn E. Hoyt first day of school today... it went really well, babe. but
makes me more and more sad that you're not here to talk to about the experience. I'm just sad that
you're not here to talk to...
Katelyn: hey babe! I moved this week for the first time since our place. Using
all our furniture is hard without you hear to share it... To sleep in our bed is hard too... I feel
you every day though, and I can't begin to tell you of the value of how amazing that feeling is. I
love you and miss you!
Katelyn: ...I know that you're always with me
Kimberly: Not a minute goes by that I don't think of you, Paul. I'm so thankful
for the joy you brought to my life. We miss you so, so much.
Dan: I can't believe it's been 2 years that you've been gone. It feels like it
was just the other day we were trying to figure out how to get you down to Arizona for my birthday
bash. I love you Paul and miss you all the time.
Mike: paul! this seems so surreal, but my new band is playing at hotung today
for the tufts battle of the bands, and i'm hoping you'll be there in spirit and give us the
strength to rock the joint. thanks for always being so supportive, brother.
Mike: I just found a poster of our 5th grade class. Your smile is the first

Annika: Miss you, Paul. you were the best of us.
Athena: Thinking of you, babe, today and every day. "I wanted to be with you
alone, and talk about the weather..."
Charlie: Paul, A year now and it's not getting easier to accept. I'll have Kid A
on repeat all week for you, man.
Becca: I miss you, Paul. I'm so glad that I knew you... I hope that I can be as
kind and as good of friend as you always were.
Dan: Hey Paul- It's been a year now and it's still tough to think that you're
gone. I think of you pretty much daily and always try to do little things that honor you. I finally
saw Radiohead live and it was as incredible as I thought it would be. I'm close to starting that
big scary career job and launching this adult life that people keep talking about. It sounds
overrated, but I'll give it a shot. We miss you down here buddy.
Paul M.: hey paul, just posted on ellingboe's wall and his profile shot is a
great picture of you and him, it's awesome to see! hope all is well in that better place you are
bud.

Charlie: Just got off the phone with Dallas. We still miss you. But we're so
thankful for the time we had.

finally getting around to listening to. and I wonder what you think of the new radiohead. these are
the gifts that keep on giving. you're the best -- i miss you
Rick: man, im out in CO lookin for jobs now in the music industry. (lots of
fun). cant stop thinkin how you kept your own music alive and out there. it truly is an
inspiration. thank you for everything you gave, and inspired.
Katie: I still miss you.
Diana: oh paul, you are in my heart.
Janice: Miss you so much hun.....never 4gettin u ♥

the Farris/Hoyt care fund. 100% of ticket sales will go to the fund as well as door prizes and

for Katie! All proceeds are going to the Farris-Hoyt care Fund. My band Tripmynd we be going on
around 10:30.
Madeline: Oh my God. I thought this was some sort of joke. I barely knew Paul,
but I knew he was a great guy. Always appeared together and talented, fun and inspirational. A good
listener. Understanding. He wanted meaningful things. And he would have gotten all of them. I'm
sure he had already found most.
Emily: i just now heard the news, and I can't stop crying. Paul, this news is
heartbreaking. The death of young people is always tragic, but it's particularly terrible when
someone as good and as kind and as talented and as wonderful as you were passes on. I hope that
wherever you are, you are happy and at peace. Much love to you and to your family.
Mike: my buddy dave called me and told me what happened. i still can't believe
it. i'm rocking themark right now in your honor, such a huge inspiration. rest in peace.
Meredith: Thanks for helping connect me to campus my first year, Paul. I would
have been lost without it. I hope Heaven is a gigantic record player...
Sarita: i cant believe this has happened to such a great person. i dont know
what to say other than life is so fleeting but im glad i got to spend a portion of mine with you.
rest in peace x
Paul M.: farris. i miss your music dude. Period thinking of you buddy!
Matt: I didn't really believe it until I read it in the paper...Such a tragedy
that you were taken before you undoubtedly would have unleashed something amazing on this world.
Best wishes in the afterlife Paul. Keep on rockin.
Sarah: Hi everyone, Paul's family is able to read your posts here, so do not
feel like your posts are in vain.
Sarah: I am a cousin of Paul's, and I am hoping to make sure that your s get to
his parents and the rest of his family. Use the PartingWishes webpage if you can, send a note if
you can, but if you can't, keep posting here - it means a lot.
Jason: I'm listening to Fear of a Blank Planet right now, and goddamn do I miss
you. I'm so glad I didn't miss that show because of my stupid job.
Janice: Yes, please post on the site...I sent the link to the Boston Globe in
hopes that more people will send love and support to Paul's family and all of his friends.
Randie: Rest in Peace. Miss you so much
Laura: Hi everyone. These are wonderful sentiments and memories to share, but
the people who really need to hear them are Paul's parents and brother. I'm lucky enough to have
known the Farrises my whole life, and I think they'd really appreciate it if some of his friends
took the time to write them a note sharing how much Paul meant to them. For some reason their
address is unlisted in the online White Pages, and I want to respect their privacy, but if any of
you Boston (or Minnesota) people would like to send them something, please message me and I'd be
happy to pass the address along.
The world is missing a good man today, and I miss him too.
Ognjen: Rest in peace Paul!
Liz: I also always wanted to get a dog exactly like Kitsu and name it Farris.
Now I will.
Meredith: whenever i hear oasis on the radio, i always think of you and laugh
because you were--for some inexplicable reason--a huge fan of theirs. thank you for being
fantastic.
Katie: Paul, I remember so many great times hanging out with you while you made
me laugh hysterically. I always thought you were such a great person and I remember thinking that
the world would be better for everyone if they had a friend like you in it. Everyone will miss you
so much, I hope you are in a better place and that you know that you made a difference in so many
lives.
Seton: You're greatly missed, man.
Sarah: I only met you once but you were so kind and warm and your smile truly
lit up the room. I just remember how you looked at Kate and thought how lucky you both were to have
found each other. Life is so short and precious but even in the short time we hung out, you seemed
to enjoy every minute of it. I am sorry that I never got to know you better.
Mike: Paul, love you bro! Reality and life are so unfair. Miss you man
Meghan: From EHS to Tufts you were always a friendly face! The way you reached
out to Carl junior year at Edina really touched me and made him feel much more at home here. You
will be missed.
Ilya: Paul, the worst things happen to the best people. i can't think of a worse
thing to happen to a better person. lots of guys are hip, lots of guys are nice -- you managed the
rare, rare feat of being both. i guess it's a time like this when a guy can say of another guy,
goddamn, did you light up a room when you walked in. no bad times to be had with paul around. i
would give anything not to have gone on my stupid vacation so we could have hung out in madison.
i'm sure we'd have ended up running down state street yelling "RUGGLES!!!" at three in the morning.
anyone who spent any time with you at all knows how lucky they are. if only it could have been
more. rest in peace. i'll miss you. goddamn, people -- tell your friends you love them.
Andy: Paul, You were always the kind of guy who would give the "shirt off your
back" to a friend in need. I'll always remember sitting in Concert Choir with you making fun of the
tenors and the third row basses and being glad we were Back Row Basses together. There are no words
to describe how much you will be missed and the number of people who you made smile! You will
always be remembered! I miss you. T-
Mike: From the deepest of our hearts, you will always be in our thoughts and
prayers. You will be missed by all of us.
Jaclyn: paul, you will always be remembered. i am truly blessed along with
everyone else for having met you. you always brought a ray of sunshine to everyone's day. i don't
think i ever met someone as kind-hearted and overall...amazing as you. we all miss you and i know
you are at peace. we love you.
John: Hey Paul, I wish we kept in better touch the last few years but I will
never forget you. You were so kind, genuine and always had a smile on your face. I'll remember
kicking it with you and the boys in concert choir and playing guitar in your basement. I'll miss
you.
Athena: The best thing that one can do for another who passes away is to
remember them, so I will, every day. You were my best friend, my roommate, my confidante, my
partner in crime. I let you know how much I loved you all the time, and I am so glad that I did...
because all of a sudden you were... and then you weren't...and I will keep on loving you with all
my heart. I miss you.
Jeff: Paul, as a fellow musician on the tufts campus I just want to say that
your memory and music will always be with me and the rest of the tufts community. I hate to see you
go and miss you always. Jeff
Paul M.: Paul, My fellow Paul, my fellow friend. Farris I can not tell you how
much you will be missed. I remember back in high school, and that first year back from college, how
great of a man you were and ARE. You were always so kind, so honest, so loyal. Paul, You will be
missed my friend, I can NOT tell you enough. You brought a smile to my heart and your passion for
music is something that I will always remember. I remember hanging in the basement of your place
Christmas break freshmen year of college. Paul, you are missed by me, and by countless others.
M
Liz: Paul, when we were in 10th grade, you were the only boy I wasn't scared to
invite to a dance because I knew you'd be nice to me and we'd have a good time. I can't thank you
enough for you kindness and friendship, I just wish I could tell you that now. I only hope that you
know how many people will miss you always.
Felipe: Paul you were the best friend anyone could wish for. I still can't
believe that you're gone and that we're not going to hang out again. I'll always remember the good
times that we had together and what a kind and generous person you were. Everyone is going to miss
you very very much. Just know that you had many many people that cared about you and that were very
sad to see you go so soon.
Johnna: Hi Paul. Writing to you on facebook seems rediculous, but its all I
could think of to do. When you fall out of touch with someone, you always tell yourself its okay
because eventually your paths will cross again, and you can catch up later. (Thats what I thought
before my brother died too.) Here's a few things I remember about you: your smile. your eyes. the
drawing class we took together at the edina arts center. I envyed how well you could draw. you
always wrote great stories, but I don't remember them anymore. I think we both did a book report on
The Indian in the Cupboard. One year for the talent show you sang Help!" by the Beatles, it always
makes me think of you. I dont remember who else was on stage, but I remember you. I'm sorry I
didn't get to know the man you became / were becoming.
Scott: There's nothing that can be said to describe how much you'll be
missed. I love you, Paul. You were the best brother and friend anyone could ever ask
for.
Adam: Paul, I can't believe that this actually happened, and every time I have
to talk about you in the past tense my heart sinks in my chest, so I'm going to keep talking about
you in the present. You're one of the sweetest, most decent people I've ever known. I wanted to let
you know I'm dedicating my record to you - it's being mastered Saturday by Jeff - wouldn't have
known him if not for you. It's been an honor sharing the stage with you over the years and
producing your music. This isn't fucking fair.
Phoebe: Paul, I can't even begin to tell you how I wish that this was all a
nasty dream and that I would be seeing you and Kate next weekend as planned. I at least have the
memory of a good evening with you and a fond farewell. No hard feelings, no regrets. You mean so
much to so many. I miss you very much.
Randie: words can not even describe. You made every person you were around
smile.You were one of the smartest and most talented people I knew. I love and miss you so
much.
Michelle: your spirit will live on in the memory of each person who knew you,
who you've touched, in each story retold... may you rest in eternal peace, paul.
Janice: Paul i am so sorry i didnt get to see you sooner. I will miss your smile
and your warm heart. Love you. Until we meet again. ♥ j
Alec: Paul, Nothing about this is even close to fair or right. I can't even
bring myself to think about how something like this could happen to someone who's been as good to
everyone around you as you have. I'm glad we had all those long drives up to middle-of-nowhere NH
to get to know each other. I'll never forget you. Keep up the Rock. Alec
Meghan: i wish i had known you better. you were a wonderful person. and you will
be in my heart and in my prayers.
Thomas: Why?!
Jason: I love you man. I'll never forget the times we spent together. I'm sorry
I never got to say goodbye. You'll be in my heart forever.
Kimberly: You changed the course of my life and made me a better person. You had
a positive, uplifting influence on everyone around you and not a day goes by that I don't think
about you, Paul. I'll miss you and will always love you.
Jordan: paul, shit man. this isnt right. i dont even know what to say... im
sorry we didnt get to chill more, continue to explore each others minds a bit more, but i do know
that youre a beautiful person, and that is something that will stay in all of our hearts and with
all the people youve encountered for as long as we are here. i cant really fathom the fact that you
wrote what you did to me before you went out last night... your energy has and will continue to
make the universe a better place. i hope youre not upset that i am writing to you like this. so
much love, my friend, so much love.
