I'm saddened to hear of Paul's sudden passing. I knew Paul from St. Michael's College, we were roommates for a summer there, and we shared mutual friends. Paul was always a kind, gentle guy. After I graduated from college, I later reached out to him because I had thought about pursuing medicine, and he graciously helped me out in navigating the process. We lost a kind soul and a wonderful physician.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear this news! I played trombone with Paul at Saint Mike's and he was such a sweet, funny and kind person! He was the kind of person who would never say a bad word about anybody. It makes sense he devoted his life to helping others. My deepest sympathies to Paul's family and close friends!

Paul was my fellow co-worker during my first year of residency. He was nice, supportive, and fun to work with. He will be missed greatly.
