I remember when Paul started working at Brach's. I think it was 1958. We worked in the same department with Jim Montgomery. We shared many lunch and coffee breaks and worked together on some projects. I left Brachs in 1969 but always had fond memories of him. And during the few times we met thereafter he always reminded me of some fun occasion that occurred during the years we worked together. He was a wonderful man. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.

Please accept our sympathy. We knew both your Mom and Dad when we lived in the Chicago area many years ago. They were both wonderful people.
