I met Paul in 1980 when I began my career at the Santa Fe (now called BNSF after a merge with the BN). I learned so much from Paul. He was a brilliant man always teaching me something new. Paul moved to AK and I retired and moved to CO. My condolences to all of Paul’s family. He’s now at rest in the arms of God.
