Not sure what to say?

I remember getting a pep talk just before a promotional event with Bill Russell "what ever you do don't ask his for his autograph" I didn't know why at the time, then Tank told me everything there was to know about this legend. After the event was over he asked me hey Jared would you like to meet Bill Russell?? I still have the picture from that day, Paul was such a class act. He was a great man to work with I loved listening to his stories. Every time I picked him up for a event he would...

So many great mornings with Tank on the Big Mattress. What a sad loss.

I was a personal trainer to Paul for about 2 years and he worked very hard to lose the weight he did. Such a wonderful soul, miss him...so sad to hear of his passing so late.

Tank was a great source of knowledge i worked with him from 1999-2003 i was his driver, he told me things about life music and sports the stuff nobody knew about i will miss him dearly

My deepest condolences to Paul’s family. He always spoke so highly of his sister and adored his nieces so much! The sports world has truly lost its biggest fan!

As a broadcaster, Tank was professional, collaborative, thorough, funny, and wildly entertaining. He LIVED sports. His segments had passion, elation, anger, joy, sadness, and knowledge...because he was a fan and a real person. A person who was loyal, funny, friendly, super-generous, and just a love. He taught me a lot about the business, but more about how to be a better person. He always cared more about how YOU were doing. Peace to you and your entire family.

I remember you from 'BCN and especially the Channel late 70s till I moved in '91. You were a treasure! Prayers to your family, friends, and many fans....

Paul was kind, generous, always looking out for others and making them feel good. I felt a lot of pride knowing him! Enjoyed talking and watching sports with him and teaching him hockey insight. A huge mentor for me within WBCN. Rest In Peace my brotha. XOXO

He was a real great guy
