What an amazing man with a beautiful soul. I got to really know Paul over the course of a few years and I am blessed for the time, conversations, history, advice, and guidance I recieved from Paul. I enjoyed spending our time in the spring discussing gardening and trading all our little tips and tricks, always making sure I got you one of our early tomatoes to ensure you had the first one on, before you family. Thank you for all the wisdom and knowledge you shared, you will forever be one of my inspirations.

I have many fond memories of Paul while working with him at the bank back in the '80s. My sincerest sympathies to his family. Rest in peace Paul.
