Hi Helena and Family,
I worked with Paul back in 2014 during my stint with ANZ NZ. He was a thorough gentleman and a pleasure to work with a fountain of knowledge and wisdom. I will surely cherish my interactions with him.

Hi Helena and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Paul all too briefly at ACC and he was invariably cheerful, upbeat, positive, and helpful. He was private about his personal life, with any anecdotes about you all invariably proud, loving, and usually funny. I don't recall any conversations with Paul where he wasn't professional, immensely helpful and we always spent more time down unrelated rabbit holes. He was a gentleman, utterly reliable, and a joy to work with. I will treasure many fond memories of an all-too-brief time knowing him. Arohanui, Si.

I knew Paul from working with him at ACC, we had many laughs regarding my Irish culture and his Scottish, I'm sure he will be watching down this weekend when we play each other.

I fondly remember Paul reciting Burns' address to the haggis. And I'll always remember Paul as a true Scotsman and a good man.

A kind wish to family on Paul's passing. A decent bloke, who cared about his fellow man, Scotland and the distilleries, as they did their best to keep us all stocked with our favourite single malts. I hope a glistening glass awaits you Paul. I will always retain those fond memories.
