Meeting Paul Jockimo on 4-12-19

I met Paul Jockimo on 4-12-19 at the 16th Annual Sinner and Silent Auction for the Jason Plite Memorial Fund. My husband and I had the honor of sitting at Paul's table. Paul is an incredible man. He is smart, funny, humble and lives life to the fullest. His stories and tremendous comedic timing kept us spellbound and entertained. When I remarked that we had 6 daughters and 1 son, Paul said, "Wow!" I replied, "Don't feel sorry for him." Paul recommended this book and I ordered it that night. Thank you, Paul.

met the man

Haven't actually read the book yet, just met the man today in our small cafe in south Georgia. Would like to say we were greatly inspired and encouraged by him. My husband is a fire fighter and they had a great connect. Life and joy all over this man !

What ever happened to Paul?

This is a very important book. I beg for the follow-up. "What Ever Happened to Paul?". I know the answer, it is great! I don't feel sorry for Paul. I feel blessed by him, his story, and the passionate work he is committed to doing in this world.

Inspiring

This is a great book. Having met Paul Jockimo, I can say that he is just as inspiring as they portray him in the book. Will, hopes and dreams can overcome anything perceived as a disability by the world at large. Paul Jockimo went on to become a firefighter and emergency services provider. He has trained many people in critical incident stress management, and he is a devoted father and husband. This book showed the spirit of the young man. That spirit has not diminished with time.

"Don't Feel Sorry for Paul"

It was suggested to me by someone very dear, to read this book. I can not tell you how it has changed my life. This young brave man, must be one of great determination and conviction to have met his challanges . I would imagine if one were to meet Paul Jockimo, you would be blessed beyond belief. Maybe someday, who knows, he will sign my copy of this book. I thank the man who suggested my finding this book.His friendship has made a difference to me by sharing this book. You see, we have choices in life to make, and Paul Jockimo made his, and that was to be the great person he would become. We have a chance in life to make a differnce, and he has.

Amazing

this is an exciting but sad book that is a good way to show little kids that there are not all but perfect people in this world. But please Don't Feel Sorry For Paul
