Paul was one of my first bosses. I worked for Weimer from 1968 - 1973. I remember vividly how scared I was when I told him I was going to resign and take a job with Xerox Corporation. A kind and gentle man he was. He thought I was leaving to work for a big company so I could find a "man" (I was single at the time). I will never forget.
I am very sorry for your loss.
