Paul, I still think of you so often. I will always remember our time together as so special to me. I hope I had some effect on you as well. How miss you.

My very fond memories of Paul were triggered today by a movie.
I met Paul while teaching architecture at Lehigh U 1984-87. He also lived in a second floor flat directly across from my studio ar-ke-tek on 3rd Street in South Bethlehem, PA. Then, we were both adventurers and pioneers, at least we thought that then. Paul was effervescent, unconventional, curious, outgoing, artistic, intuitive, highly intelligent. We became best friends immediately, and stayed so for several years in Bethlehem, then New York City, me practicing architecture, Paul-practicing life! The culmination of us being NYC urban artists pioneers, we rented very raw adjacent flats in (now trendy) Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY in 1989. (Of course Paul left me there-alone-as he swiftly decided he was headed on to London to immerse himself in the new scene there.) I also remember both of us spending a week that year in Provincetown, Cape Cod, MA, clearing our heads and trying out new ideas on each other. I met Paul one more time on Cape Cod after my new partner Jeremy and I settled on Marthas Vineyard 1993-97: We were both much the same as we were but also quite changed, grown-up, more rooted, with a clearer vision of our futures.
His vision remains with me. He would not want me to mourn for him but rather celebrate his life, how he changed us all by knowing him, and his work. I know by now that he has given Jesus and all his apostles in heaven exciting, new, cutting-edge haircuts! Pail will always live in my heart.

Met paul many years ago in london while he was on a gap year. We laughed we cried we had fun. Unfortunately he went back to usa which broke my heart. I didn't know where he went. Years later while I was in pennsylvania i was just walking in a shop and there paul was, I had no idea he was there. His nickname to me was ' Monkey' , before he appeared the only item i liked in that shop was a monkey on a stick !!! Paul was actually working as a hairdresser there. Times were complicated for us both in our days in london. We had special times together and I so would like to know what happened to Paul. I will never forget our times together. I still have a shirley maclaine book with a picture of paul inside which he gave me to understand life !.

Dr. And Mrs. Pritchard, I am so sorry to hear about Paul. I have been thinking about him a lot over the last few years and hoped to re-connect with him. To "find him" via reading this news is hard to believe. Paul lived on my freshman hall at Lehigh and we were good friends, spending many nights together on the hill while Paul "expressed his individuality" as only he could. I learned so much from Paul in this one year. We were friendly through the rest of our college years but lost touch after graduation. He was a very special person and I will always regret not connecting with him sooner.

Dr. Pritchard and Kathy,
Heartbroken upon hearing about Paul. I'll always remember with such fond memories when he'd take me along to visit you both in Bangor. He was so bright and charming. My thoughts are with you both.

This breaks my heart. I met Paul in 1996 in NYC and we became very close. Then we both moved away and lost touch. I have wondered about him frequently over the years, but never could find him online. Now, google finally yields this most unhappy result. If I'd just reached out last year when I came so close to contacting his father to ask about him, I might have had the chance to...who knows? Paul had a magic about him. I wish I'd been a better friend to him. I hope he found love and happiness.

Dr. and Mrs. Pritchard, please accept my condolences on the passing of Paul. I remember him fondly as a child and also when I was a member of FUMC. Although he went to school with my sister, I grew to know him as well. Please know that all pain is gone and he is being loved and cared for by our Savior, Jesus Christ. May your hearts be lightened in knowing that. Again, my prayers are with you.
