Sorry to hear of Paul's passing I roomed with him in 61 Manchester NH while in the air force wish I had kept in touch but I thought of him with good memories. Fred Miller dover foxcroft maine

I can't think of anyone I've known more generous than Paul. Though he liked to play the "grumpy old man" card he was a joy to be around and always first to pick up a tab or share his many resources with most everyone he knew. When he walked into a room he tended to own it. That's what I witnessed in the 25+ years I knew him. Happy to help out. Inclusive. Providing. Though he could be "sassy" - he had a GREAT heart and we can all learn from his example. He was a dear friend and mentor, and I miss him already. Our world was a better place with him in it.......

I was blessed to have you in my life for 43 years. In you I found the love of my life, my closet friend and a wonderful partner in crime! Thank you for all the joy and laughter.
