Paul C. Neth

Shirley, Kris and Lynn,
Paul was a very good man who always had a smile when I saw him. My sympathies are with all of you. Rely on your good memories and each other to help you through your grief.

Shirley, The world is is richer place thanks to Paul. I worked closely with him on the Lake Champlain sea lamprey control program.

Dear Shirley--

I was so sorry to hear about Paul's passing. Paul was one of the first people I worked with when I joined DEC's fisheries office in Albany. He was so welcoming and a great mentor to me. Paul truly had a beautiful spirit and engaging wit. He will be missed.

Dear Shirley, and girls:

Paul was my boss at DEC in Albany, for almost all the years I worked there. He was always supportive of me, and broke trail for me during the many frays that I seemed to get into. I had a a Christmas card from him, and you Shirley, every year with out fail. And I just re-read the last one after I received a note from Mike Mascelli about Paul's passing. I'm so sorry and my thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I will miss him!

Dear Shirley, Kris, and Lynn. My deepest sympathy. Paul will always remain in my heart.
