I have lost my words to express my feelings for Mr. Paul. Its really shocking news for me. I worked for him from Pakistan and Let me state that he was like a teacher for me. I learned a lot from him. I was in USA in September and tried to reach him but could not.The only cell number I had, was not getting through. All my family is in great sorrow. He was such a nice personality and wonderful human. He would remain on our thoughts.
