I worked with Paul at CPS Energy for many years. He always challenged me (especially during overhaul) but also gave me encouragement. As everyone knows, he was "The Great and Mighty One!". He used to tell me about his beloved Turtles and how they would escape. I am a better person for knowing Paul. Condolences and Prayers to his family.

Paul taught me many things early in my career at CPS Energy. Ron Matilda, Jeff Kruse and I called Paul, “Oh great and mighty one”. He was our mentor and gave us great encouragement. One of my career highlights was when Paul and I traveled to Poland and Germany to do factory witness visits for the new Deely generator. We had a great time in Europe. Paul will be missed. - Don Barnett
