Dear Neighbors:

It is with great sadness that I report the death of Paul Merna on Wednesday, August 24 at the age of 61.

Paul and Anne built their home at 145 Brigantine Circle in 1981 and raised their three boys - David, Peter and Tim. Paul and Anne often walked around our neighborhood, conversing with neighbors while enjoying the scenery. Paul always had a humorous word or two for me as they walked through our backyard on a shortcut to their home. They both have had a keen interest in our Association, attending our annual meetings and offering helpful suggestions and humor. Anne continues to lead the Welcoming Committee for new residents.

We will miss Paul and his cheerful spirit. Our Association will make a donation in his name, in accordance with his wishes, to the Norwell Food Pantry.

Tom Poor
