I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Gerald Paul of Indianapolis, IN. His obituary Is a testament to a life well-lived. He and his extraordinary wife Dorit were two of the liveliest and most wonderful people, philanthropists, and art lovers I have ever known. Gerald -- with a dry wit, warmth, and modesty-- was beyond special. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing. My heart goes out to Dorit and their entire family.

Mr. Paul inspired everyone he met to contribute meaningfully to their community, to bring dignity and a smile to interactions with others, and to appreciate the beauty of the arts. I am grateful to have known him.
