I'm sorry to hear about Paul's passing. He was a gentle and kind man. Worked often with him at SJU and then when I did business at Copy Time. Rest in peace, Paul, but very sorry for your family's loss.

Paul was always genuine and friendly with me. I will never forget how supportive he, and Kathy, were with me at my parent's funeral.
