I am so glad that I got to know Paul over the past six years. His wry sense of humor and honestly about life always made my day. I loved talking to him about the cook book he was writing - a brilliant idea. He will really be missed. Susan Larrabee

I was always impressed by Paul's can-do attitude and quickness to laugh. He excelled at taking pleasure from the simple things in life. He was a courageous man.

I hadn't kept in contact with Paul since Wachusett but I knew him as a good person then and can see he was the same good and sharing person.
