I worked with Paul for several years at Invincible and we talked a lot about hunting, fishing, etc. He taught me much about the industry and I enjoyed knowing him. When we'd run into each other after I left Invincible, he always remembered me and would take the time to speak. Paul was a very special person and I offer my heartfelt sympathy in this time of loss.
