Not sure what to say?

I was a therapist and Paul was my therapist. I learned a lot from him. I loved him.

Sue & Family - Condolences on the passing of Paul. He was such a caring, gentle, humorous man that touched so many lives and will be missed by everyone! Sorry I was unable to attend his Celebration. Blessings to you all, from our family.

Sue, Jen, and all family... this man expanded my soul to do and be better. I regret missing his memorial. Much love.

Great and interesting man. His passing is our loss and his continuence of Spiritual exploration. Go Paul

Paul's unmatched ability to make you feel love and validation guided more then you will ever know. He lived a humble life of service to his fellow "man".
My friend, the love you generously gave to us is irreplaceable.
I'll reflect on the wisdom you shared everyday.
So many things, examples, parables.
So many times shared.
Good bye for now.

I'd be dead if it weren't for Paul. Such a loss to us all!

Pap took me in when was 17 and fresh out of a juvenile detention facility (knowing little about me) and instructed me as a son. He was a strong but sensitive fella who made it safe for other men to be expressive, thoughtful and gentle. Pap was also a shaman, a spiritual guru who planted seeds of wisdom into everyone he encountered.

I am especially grateful to him for his willingness to waste time and money on me as I worked to figure out my life. I hope he left with some confidence...

A man of kindness and wisdom, that I will remember fondly. He was a great example of a great man, reflecting in the fathers that his sons have become.

Paul was my Therapist, my Mentor, and Friend. He shared his light, healing , love and humor, that I have carried with me my entire life. I will always have a bit of Paul with me. Thank you Paul and Blessed be.
