Not sure what to say?

I knew Paul and Jacqueline when they were members of Chesterfield Athletic Club. They were both extremely good tennis players and contributed in a big way to CAC. When I think of Paul I think of a true gentleman and a very classy person. Paul had many many friends at CAC, he was greatly admired. It was such a privilege for me to know Paul and Jacqueline.

My Grandpa was one of a kind. Generous, patient, witty. He worked hard and played hard and love every single one of his family and friends. He will be missed forever

Graduated with Paul from St. Benedict’s a great guy and classmate

My condolences to Jacqueline and Paul's family. Ar dheis De go raith a anam - may his soul be at God's right hand. Paul was my best friend in our boyhood in Newark's Ironbound. We served early Mass together when servers gave responses at the foot of the altar in Latin. We were classmates at St. Benedict's Grammar School, graduating in 1955. The Fehrenbachs were a large and loving family who always extended a warm welcome to us Clark boys when we came over to play. Paul was a model of strength...

My deepest condolences at this great loss of a beloved man. Paul was a prince, and my all time favorite "father of a friend". He was always the person who noticed someone wasn't up on the dance floor and would always ask them to dance - I saw him do this at various events and was so intrigued at how sharp he was at reading a room. I am grateful for the countless laughs and stories from skiing in Vermont or visits at the Chesterfield house. No one will ever forget when the bear ate Paul...

A fine gentleman, a good friend and the best manager I ever had in my 50 years with MERRILL LYNCH
