To a great shipmate, friend, and a terrific human being. The world will be an emptier place without his smile and his wonderful sense of humor. All the best to the Zweifel family at this tough time. You can always call on any of us from Special Boat Unit 20 DET 306. Macus J. Fisk (CAPT USNR Ret.)

We remember way back to when you met each other! The photo album is wonderful, and really shows what a great guy Paul was, so full of life and involved in everything he did to the fullest. We will miss him a great deal.

My cousin Paul was a special person who truly loved his wife and children. It showed by his hands on mentoring and by his own example. We have fond memories of their family at Vistana Resort in Florida. Sorry he left us so early in his life, but his life was lived in full.

A beautiful tribute to my brother Paul. There was so much of his life we were unable to share due to the distance between us. Thank you Linda.
