Not sure what to say?

I just heard of Paul's passing today...he will be sorely missed by many, including so many of us in the nonprofit and philanthropic world. He was an amazing talent and, even more so, an amazing spirit. I will keep you, his loved ones, in my thoughts and prayers.

He will continue to inspire those who knew him, and may his spirit continue to lift and extend his vision and mission and work to its ultimate expression, for the benefit of all.

What an impact you've had on so many people and so many organizations

I will miss you always, Paul. Your wit and kindness were special and important to me. My deepest condolences to Paul's loved ones.

Kaleo
