Paul was a true gentleman. He was so kind, warm hearted and a beautiful soul. I still wear the rain jacket he gave me when I was without one on one of our Vespa rides. His presence will be deeply missed. Rest in peace dear friend.
Deeply saddened by Paul’s passing. All too soon. I remember him fondly on the Vespa rides, always a friendly face and cheerful conversations. Condolences to his family. Paul, may your soul find eternal peace in God’s loving embrace.
Sincere condolences to all of Pauls family, it was nothing short of devastating to hear of Pauls passing.
He was one of life’s great guys who could always raise a humorous quip. I owe so much to Paul in having faith with my move to Australia. He will be deeply missed, and it was a pleasure to have worked with him.
Rest in Peace Paul.
Saddened to hear of Paul’s untimely passing. Paul was always a gentleman – a life well lived. Condolences to Paul’s family, friends and colleagues and anyone who had thr pleasure of spending time in Paul’s company. Rest in peace Paul.
My sincere and deepest condolences to the Ponticello Family and friends. I am very fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with Paul over more than 10 years. Paul leaves a legacy of fond memories and much valued advice about life professionally and personally, which I will forever treasure. Sharing a table at one Paul’s favorite Italian restaurant in Leichardt will never be the same..Sarai per sempre nel nostro cuore e nella nostra mente: riposa in pace Paulo.
I am heartbroken at the loss of such an amazing person. Working with Paul for many years I enjoyed hearing about places he’d travelled to and recommendations of places to visit, mainly in Italy, I leaned on him for his wise choices of wine and restaurants for our events and loved our banter and laughs about life in general. Paul’s time with us was too short but his memory will forever be a treasured part of all who shared time with him. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Paul’s family.

I had known Paul for about 25 years and always a pleasure to be with, a true gentleman, a great family man and very caring. We will all have many fond memories of Paul and the memories can never be taken from us.
Paul, a true gentleman that was taken from us too soon. I remember meeting you on one of your first rides with the club and many more after. I’ll miss our chats and your company. Rest in peace my friend.
To Paul’s family, I’m so sorry for your loss, my condolences and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
To a great Vespisto friend, gone too soon . It was a privilege meeting you, i loved our chats on Italy, food and wine and riding with you. You have gone way too soon. You will be very much missed. RIP
I proffer my deepest commiserations to Paul’s family. I met Paul only a couple of years ago through riding with the Vespa Club. Paul was our gentlemanly friend. He imbued us with his good humour, his positive outlook on life and his grace. He was a good person to be around. I, as many in the Vespa Club, will miss him. He left us too early. Farewell Paul.
Deepest sympathy to Paul’s family. As a RA colleague he was a true gentleman, friend and gracious host. Treated his staff as family. One of a kind. Much too young to be taken. RIP Paul.
Dear Paul,
We didn’t know you for long, but you really touched us with your kind, gentle and generous nature.
A bond formed over a passion for Vespas and sharing of stories from our Italian heritage.
We will really miss riding and catching up with you our ‘amico’
To Paul’s family and friends we are thinking of you at this sad time. We know the loss of Paul will leave a huge hole in your hearts and lives.
Kindest thoughts
Tanya and Michael Panetta
Hello, my deepest sympathies to all of Paul’s family. I worked for RA Melbourne for 17 years & Paul was one of my favourite people to deal with. He was always nice & therefore very popular in the company. I am so sorry for your loss, he has departed way too soon. Kind regards, Kerry McArdle
My deepest sympathy to Paul’s family and friends, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rest In Peace Paul
My sincere condolences to family, friends and colleagues of Paul. A great mentor, supporter and friend, and it was an honour to know and work with such a gentle soul. I will sadly miss Paul, and our recent chats during his treatment times, and I’m so sorry I can’t be with him as we say farewell.
On behalf of all the members of Vespa Club Leichhardt please accept our sincere condolences. Paul loved riding his Vespa and was a valued member. We will all cherish the great times had. Rest in peace Paul, you will be missed.
My sincere condolences to Paul’s family and friends. I have incredibly fond memories of Paul as a colleague and a friend. He gave a young guy a start that I probably wasn’t really ready for but he was a great motivator in his own quiet way. Over the years of working with Paul I admired his leadership and style and have tried to model much of what Paul taught me into how I deal with people both professionally and personally. I am saddened by the fact we wont have another “catch up”. RIP Paul.
Sincere condolences. Such a genuine person, always friendly and approachable. The lifeblood of Rockwell in Sydney for so many years.
Rest in peace.
Please accept my deepest sympathy. A life taken way too soon. I have such fond memories of working with Paul – he was a wise, kind and unflappable colleague, with a good sense of humour (often needed!) and great taste in food and wine.
Rest in peace Paul.
I’m deeply shocked and saddened by the news of Paul’s passing. Please accept my sincerest condolences. Paul was a talented and valued member of our team, a good friend and a great teacher for us. I feel honored to have had the opportunity to work with him. May he rest in peace.
I was deeply saddened to learn of Paul’s passing. Paul
gave me an opportunity 30 years ago that shaped my career and life. In countless ways. His unwavering support will never be forgotten
I have fond memories of our animated negotiations over rates for staff , his sharp wit and dry sense of humour always had me guessing until I got to understand the kindness that lay beneath. He had a way of connecting with people that left a lasting impact and he will be missed . Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.
Dear Paul,
We didn’t have much interactions at RA, but every time you came down to Melbourne office, you always say hi to people, you were well respected by many of us.
I remembered when Serene and I went to Sydney for a work trip. You took us to an Italian restaurant not far from Kings Cross. The pasta I had tasted delicious but it was hard compared to how I cook at home ( Chinese Cooking pasta) then I realized I have been cooking pasta the wrong way after how many years feeding my family.
You will be sincerely missed. Rest in peace!
Dear Paul’s family,
I’m deeply sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies go out to the family.
Jessie Liu from RA
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Paul. I have fond memories of the chats we shared over the years about the good old Reliance days, occasional discussions about current work, and his wonderful advice on restaurants. He will be deeply missed.
