My very fond memories of Paul were triggered today by a movie.
I met Paul while teaching architecture at Lehigh U 1984-87. He also lived in a second floor flat directly across from my studio ar-ke-tek on 3rd Street in South Bethlehem, PA. Then, we were both adventurers and pioneers, at least we thought that then. Paul was effervescent, unconventional, curious, outgoing, artistic, intuitive, highly intelligent. We became best friends immediately, and stayed so for several years in...

Met paul many years ago in london while he was on a gap year. We laughed we cried we had fun. Unfortunately he went back to usa which broke my heart. I didn't know where he went. Years later while I was in pennsylvania i was just walking in a shop and there paul was, I had no idea he was there. His nickname to me was ' Monkey' , before he appeared the only item i liked in that shop was a monkey on a stick !!! Paul was actually working as a hairdresser there. Times were complicated for us both...

Dr. And Mrs. Pritchard, I am so sorry to hear about Paul. I have been thinking about him a lot over the last few years and hoped to re-connect with him. To "find him" via reading this news is hard to believe. Paul lived on my freshman hall at Lehigh and we were good friends, spending many nights together on the hill while Paul "expressed his individuality" as only he could. I learned so much from Paul in this one year. We were friendly through the rest of our college years but lost touch...

Dr. Pritchard and Kathy,
Heartbroken upon hearing about Paul. I'll always remember with such fond memories when he'd take me along to visit you both in Bangor. He was so bright and charming. My thoughts are with you both.

This breaks my heart. I met Paul in 1996 in NYC and we became very close. Then we both moved away and lost touch. I have wondered about him frequently over the years, but never could find him online. Now, google finally yields this most unhappy result. If I'd just reached out last year when I came so close to contacting his father to ask about him, I might have had the chance to...who knows? Paul had a magic about him. I wish I'd been a better friend to him. I hope he found love and happiness.
