Not sure what to say?

Whitney,

Sorry for you loss. I was shocked to learn of your Dad's passing. Your dad was so much fun and truly wonderful man. I worked with him at Weil Gotshal and Manges back in the 80's. He recommended me the same daycare you went to for my son Christopher. I have cute pics of you guys as babies.

Later met up with him in the Landman industry. Last time I saw him was at Costco.

God Bless you,
Tammi Enos

Sending my thoughts to Paul's family. Thinking of you today.

Paul and I were the closet of friends in my senior year in high school and were college roommates at UT. He was there for me in a very difficult time when I left home in the summer of '73 - in fact, I stayed at his house for a few weeks when I had no place to live. We had many adventures and laughed our way through most of them. We shared an intense passion for music and the last time we visited I gave him 50,000 (legally downloaded:) mp3s which he was SO stoked about. The joy in his face...

Paul, all your classmates from Dobie will miss you. A good friend of my youth, a good man. Rest in peace.

We lost a good Landman, a good friend and a caring and thoughtful man.

I'll always remember Paul and his smile.

God bless.

Dear Whitney & family,

I was sad to hear of your Dad's death. I, and so many of the Good Will class members, have missed him ever since he left us. He was such a vital part of the class for a long time and helped hold us together when Rev. Ron Morris left us. We are so grateful for the time and energy he put into the process to select a new teacher, Richard Ethun, who is still with us. I remember so many good times with Paul: doing the class news, walking streets on his campaign,...

I'm going to miss Paul - he was a good friend.
