Paul was a great friend and we shared many wonderful times together. He is truly missed but I know he is playing guitar by a campfire in heaven.

Paul (PHD) you were a great friend to me for many years. I will never forget our time hiking, camping, photographing and exploring the Arizona desert. You taught me so much about loving the beauty of nature and the times we shared were some of the best times of my life. Though we parted ways, I have been inspired by you throughout my life and will continue to honor you with a passion for the beauty life has to offer. Rest in Peace my friend. You will be missed by many.
