Paul was a pioneer in the newspaper and television business and I was extremely saddened to hear the news of his passing. Sincere condolences to all the members of his family. He loved Crystal Beach and made that community a better place to live.

Sorry to learn about Paul. I worked with him in the 1960s for the Welland Tribune and found him to be a steady and reliable professional. He was indispensable to me and to fellow friend Gil Wanless.
