Hello my name is James Forcier. I was lucky enough to have Paul as my electrical 4 teacher at stcc! It was a few years ago, but I just finally got my journeyman electrical license today and the 1st person I wanted to thank was him! He was a great teacher who loved the trade and it showed! He helped me alot! I was lucky to start my electrical 1 class half way through the year. So at the end I was able to finish that other half year in electrical 4 with Paul! So sorry for your loss!

I new Paul for a short time but he has left a lasting impression with me. He was a man who cared deeply at helping others. He is surely missed by all that he touched in his life. My prayers are always with his family. Be Well...

It's so hard to believe it's been almost a year since Paul has passed. I pray for Leslie and her family every night to remember all the good times with Paul and hold those memories close. And remember that someday you will all be together again. In the meantime, know that Paul is looking down upon you all, with his beautiful eyes, smiling from heaven, and holding each of you with his love,

I am so sorry to hear about Paul today! He was one of the nicest people I have ever met and he will be missed! Susan Johnson from Workforce Development, STCC

I first met Paul when I joined MECA in 1987. He introduced himself and made me feel welcome at my first annual MECA dinner. In 2002 I became president of MECA and Paul counseled me through out my first year. He was a gentleman and a class act. The electrical industry is a better and safer place because of Paul.
