I had Paul as a preceptor at the Bedford VA while in pharmacy school. Later on I had his son Chris as a preceptor at MGH. Paul was a wonderful man, very friendly, always had a smile on his face. Heaven gained an Angel! Sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Paul. When he had the Drug Store in Pinehurst he was just so great to my Father. Later in the years I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Bedford VA hospital. Such a wonderful man.
