My husband John and I wish to express our condolences to the family of PEP. We did not know him personally, but he through various Submarine Bulletin Boards, we got to know him. He was a true "Brother of the Phin" and will be sorely missed.

My condolences to the Family and all who knew Paul. I personnally did not know him but served as he did and know exactly what he meant about the true meaning of qualifying and earning those dolphins. God Bless you.
