Paul was a close friend for many years when we both lived in Berkeley or nearby Oakland. He was a generous and kind man who loved theatre and was devoted to spiritual growth through Catholic roots and Buddhist meditation and practices. He volunteered his time at centers for AIDS and addiction and cherished his family, friends and canine companions. With love and sorrow, Carol Sullivan

Will miss Paul greatly. He was among my oldest friends. Although we hadn't visited in-person for a while, we had very enjoyable phone conversations every couple of weeks.
