Not sure what to say?

I met Mr. John in 1982 in Las Vegas when he won a huge jackpot on a slot machine (about $30,000). I was a District Manager with Chevrolet in San Diego at the time. Paul and I flew back to Detroit and I sat next to him and he told me, "if you want to get into advertising, please call me." I finally did and
at his urging, interviewed at Campbell-Ewald in 1982 and started my advertising career there. I always loved being around him. May God bless your family and the memories of him.

I also credit Paul with helping get my career going ... and with helping me to love the world of advertising and marketing. He was full of life and lived life well. May the Lord bring comfort to all who miss him.

Paul, more than any other person was responsible for my career success in Detroit. Moreover he was a wonderful mentor and friend. In my darkest hour following a near fatal car accident, he comforted my wife and family daily. I will never, ever forget him. God bless and keep you Paul. And may he comfort Nancy and family during this difficult time.
