Paul Braunstein

I met Paul through a cancer support group a few years ago, and I can’t say enough about the light and power and wisdom he brought to us in that room, all authentic, all based on truth. I have quoted him when talking to people about cancer; his approach, his humor, and the strong kindness he gave to others were inspiring. I hadn’t kept in touch, but had thought of him often, and am so saddened to read about his death. The power of his spirit lives in my memory, and I am grateful for having...

We worked with Paul for 15+ years in greeting him at the airport and clearing him through customs. He was always pleasant after such long flights and a pleasure to work with. Our sincerest condolences from Fred and I here at Stella International.

I met Paul in High School.We had many classes and wrestled on the same team together.To meet someone with absolute confidence,focus, & determination at a young age was awe inspiring. He will be remembered.My thoughts are with his family.

I met Paul through my husband, David. He was best man at our wedding, always a true friend to David, and Godfather of Hannah, our eldest. I have fond memories of time spent with him, especially in Broome in the 90's. I loved his deepness and his humour and so admired his tenacity in his recent struggle. He will be greatly missed by myself, Hannah and Genevieve. My heart goes out to Zsofia and his family and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I met Paul in Tokyo when i was 21 and he became my best friend in our twenties and thirties . We had many adventures in the south sea pearl business and in life . Paul was the most honest , decent , funny ,thoughtful and philanphropic person and i had the enormous privilege to spend time with him in all persuits , material , and spiritual . I can imagine him now at peace and laughing and joking with Rick and Mr Jerwood and others who went before him . Thankyou Paul for everything you did and...

Paul was the person who introduced me to South Sea Pearls. I have very fond memories of the early years of his business in the US. His honesty and integrity in the industry was never a question. He will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Even though my wife Nathalie worked for Paul I never got to know him that well -- except for a 3 hour breakfast at Half Day Cafe about two years ago. I saw the attraction everyone has for him. Smart, insightful, warm and friendly and at that moment quite candid about his feelings about his health. I then felt like I knew him for years. God bless him, Zsofia and their family. He will be missed.

I new Paul only for a short time but felt like we connected in a special way. He was a wonderful person and I know he is in a better place now.

Paul was an amazingly positive person. He always had a smile on. He took his time to speak to everyone and make them feel special, and always found the good in people. I'm sure he will be in the hearts and minds of many. My deepest condolences to Zsofia and his parents and family.
