Not sure what to say?

I first met Dr. Berberian in 2005 when he hired me as his Administrative Assistant in the School of Graduate Studies and Research at Winston-Salem State University as he served in the capacity of Dean. Dr. B. as we all called him was a brillant man who contributed so much to society in his research and his compassion for people. He will be missed by those who were fortunate to know him.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you...

My wife and I are neighbors and would like to express our condolences to the family. I only knew Paul from meeting him when he was walking his dog as he did several times a day, rain or shine. Interesting guy that we could always count on to be at the Sherwood Homeowners Association annual meetings. Not a shy person! Good to see that he had an extended family that loved him.

Sincerely

I will miss him dearly, and will...

He had had started there the year before and we discovered a common bond in our Yankee roots in a department populated mostly by southerners. Over the next decade we became close collaborators in our teaching and research, and good friends as well. I greatly missed his contributions when he left Wake Forest around 1991. I was pleased when his career path brought him back to Winston-Salem a few years...

A brilliant scientist and thinker whose research early on in the study of atherosclerosis is the foundation for its inevitable cure. A caring,generous friend whose hospitality and concern for others will long be remembered. He had more still to contribute to humanity, it is a tragedy he could not live out his gifts.

Paul you were one of God's finer creations. You had an uncanny ability to see the far reaching consequences of any subject matter and distill it to it's essence in such a poetic way. You cared about the universe not just your own circumscribed life. You were a lifelong learner and eternally curious about everything. Beyond being admired for your handsome appearance you were respected for the depth of your intelligence, the breadth of your vision, the generosity of your heart and the depth of...

Our prayers and heart felt sympathy to all of Paul's brothers and sisters and their families.
