Send FlowersA Cheeky Blithe Spirit
Blithe spirits come in all sizes: this one was about 5 feet 6, skinny, with a smile that asserts itself in Cathy Bruneau's snapshots. There he is, Paul Bristow, cocking his head, compelling you to cast off the grumps, wearing a fright wig, kicking up a leg.
The British-born Mr. Bristow, 27 — "a little cheeky person," says Ms. Bruneau, his fiancée and companion for seven years, first in London and then in Brooklyn — made sure that he never worked more than he needed to, which is not to say that he slacked off at the Risk Waters Group, where he helped organize conferences. It's just that he preserved time for the important things: shopping, friends, shooting pool, getting lost on a country road and savoring its beauty.
Funny, endearing, he could charm even the crustiest. Here is Mr. Bristow, surrounded by Ms. Bruneau's non-English-speaking relatives, rolling in their seats at a wedding in France as he repeatedly tries out his one sentence in French: "Another bottle of white wine, please?"
Like a child, he would dance impatiently around Ms. Bruneau when he wanted attention. But he reciprocated in spades when she was blue, with giant hugs to help her "get the cry out," as he would put it.

I visited the Tribute Center and the 9/11 Memorial this summer with my twin sister. The tour guide, Jim, who was a survivor that had been working in the World Trade Center, explained the memorial to us. He also asked us to put our hand on a name and then invited us to search the name here and find out about a little about them. I am so glad that I touched Paul's name and I enjoyed reading about his amusing and caring ways. Please accept my sincere condolences for your great loss.

I was a friend of Paul's back in Stansted at Primary School. We were classmates, team mates in the school football team and he used to come round after school fo fish fingers and chips. He is still sadly missed and I still look at newspaper clippings of us in team photos for bentfield county primary school.

If Paul hadn't been there ahead of me that day. I would not be here. Paul took care of work that would have put me in his place. I ran back to the office to retrieve something that was left behind. If not for his actions I would not be here
