I worked with Paul at Carpetland USA in Lima.. Paul was very cool, a real class act, just a great person to have known and worked with. The news of his passing brings back some great memories of working together .. rest in peace, Paul, and my heart goes out to those you leave behind.

The wisdom you acquired by living the life that you did, was manifest in the love, patience and understanding you showed others. You practiced humility. You understood the importance of gratitude; the underpinning of all virtue. I will miss you always. Peace.
