What a wonderful man. I served with him on the U.S. Term Limits board and I often think of his brilliant idea of a Student World Assembly. It is a tribute to him that his work in this world carries on. Bless you, Paul.

Paul was the "go to" man when it came to soliciting financial support for whatever causes he believed in, one of which was the Ethical Society. He was not only a financial supporter but also a moral supporter. He also put his leadership style and effectiveness into education and computer usage and development.

His wife and children are probably the most important illustrations of his ability to love and nurture. His smiles will be missed.

Paul's dedication, involvement, generosity, strong opinions, and willingness to engage others in (sometimes spirited) discussion will be missed, but his memory and the improvements his life has contributed to the world will live on.
