Dear Dombrowski family,
My family was so heart broken when we learned of Paul's passing. My daughter, Lacey Marsh was in his class his first year at Sunrise. She cried when she heard the news today. We are so sorry for your loss. He was such a great person and will always be remembered fondly by all of those he taught. Lacey has always held a special place in her heart for him as she has moved on through middle school. We ask that God hold him tight. I know that Paul was a husband and father, but special people, like Paul are called upon to be God's angels. I hope you have comfort in knowing Lacey, her father and I think of him as being sent from God, to teach and returned to God as an angel. He was taken too soon, and will never be forgotten. A piece of him lives on in those he taught.

Dear Dee, Buzz, and all of Paul's family. Please know that loving thoughts and prayers from the Moran family are with all of you at this sad time of mourning the loss a great life. We remember Paul well as a substitute Kindergarten teacher at Bond Mill School when Francis was in Kindergarten. Paul made a lasting impression on all of us and was such a positive mentor for the youngsters. His family and his students were truly blessed to have him for their leader. Looking through his picture gallery, it would seem that his spirit will forever embrace the Rockies and his dear family.

Our deepest condolences to the Dombrowski Family. We are thinking of all of you at this difficult time. We are here for all of you. We knew Paul as a young boy (with his dog by his side) and we loved hearing his adventure stories whenever he returned to Kent Road, Laurel, MD. Paul would make us feel happy while sharing his love for adventure and outdoors. He knew how to bring a smile to each of us and make us laugh! Then Paul moved to glorious Colorado and found his true love of family and richness of the outdoors. He was a gift to all too all who knew him. Remembering the joy Paul brought us will give us back our joy and let us have joy back in our lives forever.
Love & Prayers, Joan M. Komisarek, Debbie & Danny Densmore, Anna Marie & Robert J. Komisarek.
