I met Paul thru fundraisers for our Aids Walk team. He had so much energy, and such great ideas, that it was hard to keep up with him. His big dreams and warm heart will be greatly missed.

No, I never personally knew Paul. During summer months I am active with the downtown SVDP group, helping the poor and needy in the downtown area. Paul was a quiet benefactor of this group, never looking for publicity or special "thanks".
A good and generous person has left his friends and those of us who never knew him.

Paul was indeed a very unique individual. His charm was a warm gift which he shared w/ anyone near him. He will definitely be missed by many, many people including myself.
His love of people and his passion for change were always what defined his life. God Blessed all of us who knew Paul.
