Paulando meant so much to so many people. He was a father, a husband, brother, a great friend, and so much more. He was one of my best friends and someone I could always trust and count on. I met Paul at the start of our journey to become airplane mechanics along with Walter and Zach. We immediately all formed a tight bond based on our work ethic, values, humor, etc.. We uplifted each other everyday to be great in everything we did in school and in our everyday lives. The news of his passing was such a shock and so incredibly sad. It breaks my heart to write this for my friend, especially so early in life. I wish strength and healing for his family and loved ones. May he rest in peace.
