He was the first to wish me on my birthday, a great listener, and my life coach. We grabbed coffee frequently and just discussed life many times for upto 7 years after I left Fedex Office. Can't believe I saw you a couple weeks ago chatting just fine. Skip, you are and will be missed. Rest in Peace my good friend! May God Bless your soul!

Skip was a great guy. Always was willing and able to help with projects we had and took the time to teach as well. I will always remember him fondly and he will be greatly missed. RIP Skip.

Skip was a truly exceptional person. His memory surrounds my childhood home in two profound ways: the beautiful photographs he took of my mother and her three children as babies, and in the affects of the friendship he shared with my dad. I have such immense gratitude for his role in my dad's life. His calm demeanor and loving support extended to my entire family. I will be honoring his memory by learning to take beautiful photos of the people I love, and attempting to embody his generosity of spirit. Rest in peace, Skip, you are so dearly missed.

I worked closely with Paul during the early years after starting my public relations business in 1981. He was an outstanding photographer and a fine friend whom I remember very fondly. He did a lot of photography for my young firm and taught me about the many technologies then being introduced. So sorry to learn of his passing. Dick Bragaw
