Paul was a devoted husband and a remarkable man. I remember he liked audiobooks and he would usually be listening to one while waiting for Alena to get out of work at the end of the day. I would see him often at the Backroom restaurant and chatting with him was always a pleasure.
My deepest condolences Alena and to the entire family. May he rest peace.

Alena and family,
I'm so sorry to read of Paul's passing.
I was lucky enough to work with Paul in the appliance service dept. at Public Service Co. in the 60s. We were both young men just starting out life's journey. I remember Paul as being very confident in what he was doing and always willing to lend a hand if needed. He almost always had a smile on his face and was a pleasure to work with.
Paul was one of the good guys
