Clare, I am so sorry about Paul's passing. He was a musical genius. One of a kind. Sending you love.

Clare, Was glad to know Paul, and loved listening to him play, especially when he played Monk tunes!

I will miss discussing Shakespeare with Paul.

My dear Clare, I am so greatful having to know Paul, experience his musical gifts and to share his last birthday celebration with you, Deborah and Stew. It is so heart warming to hear he used his passion for jazz to praise God, creator of heaven and earth. With theses gifts, Paul is surely blessed.

Paul was committed to music, truth and justice
