In Joyful Memory of Paul Barabe

My name is Wendy Mitkowski, a friend of Paul's and his "tomato", Angie. I am organizing this GoFundMe at the behest of friends who are stunned and want to help but have no idea how. This is the epitome of "unfixable." At best, we can be friends to Angie and offer her support - that's what he would hope from us. Maybe our donations will provide her an opportunity to grieve with less worry?

Paul stranded us on this Earth without him on March 9th, 2025. In the vacuum, we are left with a lot less joy, laughter and FUN. For The Office fans amongst us, as of today, it's been 5 days since our last nonsense.

Paul was a friend to all who knew him (except for one guy, first name T - last name K. I feel like he'd want me to be clear on this point) and was extraordinarily generous with his friendship. As wonderful a friend as he was, the true joy of his life was his family. Nothing would honor Paul more than wrapping our collective arms around them, in whatever way you can.
