Paul was as good and sincere a man as I have ever known. I feel fortunate that I was lucky enough to have worked with Paul for many years. We shared a lot of laughs, solved some problems and even flipped some burgers occasionally. I relied on his knowledge and advice many, many times. My condolences and sympathy to Sandy and family.
