Paul was a hard worker and good friend. He will be sorely missed. His humor during hard work was enough to keep everyone plugging away. You always knew Paul's position on things; because he would let you know it in no certain terms. I imagine Paul is now correcting Heaven's message center. I would expect nothing less of him.
