To all of Paul's loved ones, I cannot fully express my sadness in hearing of Paul's passing. He was a friend beyond measure to me. We were schoolmates & close friends since 7th grade. We will miss him so much. His great personality was infectious and so fun. A part of me is lesser with his passing. My deepest condolences to all his friends and family.
