That Was Paul

On April 4th, 2009, Pittsburgh Police Officer Paul J. Sciullo II was gunned down in the line of duty, along with two other officers, in the worst police shooting in the city’s history. He made the decision to become an officer late in life because he wanted to make a difference. Paul was my cousin and this is a collection of stories about the impact he had on the lives of others, turning grief into joy, and what it means to be truly happy in what you do.

Loving portrait of Paul Scuillo

I didn't know Paul Scuillo, only knew of him as a cousin of the narrator. Paul was one of the three police officers who was killed in Pittsburgh while responding to a call in 2009. It was well worth the time spent hearing who Paul was. It’s a very moving story. Paul is portrayed with such an outpouring of love from family and colleagues. It is real, compelling and connects emotionally on a level I wasn’t expecting.

I feel like even if you didn’t know Paul, the stories from the parents and relatives bring you into their hearts and breathe life into the man that he and the others were. I look forward to every episode and thank the family for sharing such an inspiring and heartfelt life’s story. Of course you always think about what could have been had this not happened. But the stories from this young man’s life says that he lived as we all should… Good at heart
Touching. And beautifully done.

I came to know the Sciullo Family after Paul’s tragic death, but I feel like I’ve known Paul because of the love shown by his family. This tells a bit of that story and I look forward to more episodes. The stories are heartfelt. The love this family has for Paul is unmistakable. Worth the listen.
