My heart aches in a way I cannot even explain. I just read about his death. I was his secretary and friend for a number of years. We worked together at Csaplar & Bok.

The Pro Life Legal Defense Fund extends its condolences to Paul's family and all of his loved ones. We are enormously grateful for Paul's support for the sanctity of life throughout his distinguished career. The pro life community will miss his service, and we pray that, in Paul's new home above, he will continue to look out for all vulnerable persons at the margins of life.

I always enjoyed being in Paul's presence.

He was kind, thoughtful and caring. When it came to real estate transactions, no one stood taller than Paul.

Paul - your life was such a gift to so many. Thank you for all you did. Thank
you for all you gave.

God Bless.
