My final memory of Paul was of him sitting in his office with a beautiful Tiffany Studios Peony lamp with mostly red flowers and a geometric leaded glass light shade under the bulbs. He was always so kind to me and my family when we would visit the shop. He worked there surrounded by beauty. All beautiful memories of Paul and Lillian.

I knew Paul far better than he knew me when were at Oberlin (and I remember you too!) Paul's pursuit of the perfect golf game aside, I best remember his amazing skills with the billiard cue. I still try to emulate that sure handed, sharp eyed style with but with little success. His spirit lives on and my thoughts go out to you and the rest of his loving extended family.

The last time I saw my friend Paul, was in the office at Lillian Nassau's in 2004 sitting near a 28 inch Tiffany peony lamp. He took time to show the lamp in detail to my teenage daughter. He always had time for everyone, he was always kind, he had a great wit and always a smile. Chloe, we are so sorry for your loss. Paul made the world a brighter place.

Throughout the years, Paul and Chloe have been valued and enthusiastic members of the Stockbridge Golf Club. Paul was hardly unsuccessful at golf, having captured the intra-club Karrick Cup competition in the early 90's. He was an earnest competitor and generous guy -- two attributes which are highly cherished on a golf course, and indeed in any setting. Sincere condolences from a respectful friend and fellow competitor.

Chloe, I,m so sorry to hear of Pauls passing. He was a kind and generous man. I experienced this generosity when he came to visit in Hilton Head. I will never forget that. He will truly be missed.

Chloe, Paul was not unsucessful in pursuing golf greatness. In a four ball match at Stockbridte with Robert against me and a very ill Bill Schnurr Paul was generous and compassionate and allowed Billy to be part of the competition with his generosity. I will always remember that day and that match. My condolences on your loss. Jack Dezieck

Fairwell to a talented and sincere man. I enjoyed the times we played and competed on the links for many years, and respected the fact that you lived your life as you played the great game of golf, Paul - with honor, dignity and respect. Shelley joins me in extending our condolences to Chloe and the rest of the family as you deal with your loss. Please know that we will miss Paul and hope that Chloe will be able to come north to join us again soon.
