My heart is broken today because you left us.I regret that we didn't get together as much as we should of after you retired.I will always be thinking of you when I hear Les Macan and Eddie Harris ,live in Montréal,"Compared to What".You were a older brother to me through our 30 years of working together,and the only man I took showers with for that whole time.Our late nights on second shift, where we would meet at Doug's Cafe after work and then stay out till dawn. I would see you walking...

A lot of good times were spent with this guy. Back in the 70s, Paul and I hitchhiked from Holyoke to L.A. What a life experience! Sadly, over the years we went our separate ways, but there are plenty of great memories to hold onto. My condolences to all of Paul's family. He will be sorely missed.

Janet and family, I'm saddened to hear of Paul's passing. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor and friend. It's because of him that I'm the mechanic I am today. I remember the day I took the picture of him holding this fish and the joy on his face. RIP Paul.
