I was Blessed to have worked with Paul on many projects at EDS. There were many important projects on this lists, and Paul was always prepared to make these detailed projects a success with his attention to detail.
I was Blessed to actually run into Paul a couple of months ago at a gun show and had a great time reliving a few stories and genuinely enjoyed reconnecting with him.
I am taken aback by this loss, but know he is in good hands now,

Paul was a dear work mate with whom I worked hard to press his "buttons"! His humor and ability to identify the truth with whatever technical challenge we were facing has been phenomenal. In an older, far distant organization called "network hardware", his voice was heard. And his voice was valued. It´s been twenty years since I have worked with him, but our exchanges both face to face as well as over the phone are well-remembered. I will miss sharing old memories via facebook... RIP dear friend.

Hard worker. Always think of him when I look at the carved ducks in my kitchen window sill. May he rest in peace

I always enjoy Paul´s comments on Facebook. I am so sorry to hear of his loss. He was a wonderful person and so great to work with. We talked about how happy he was when he had his granddaughter. You could always depend on Paul to deliver his projects. He was so dedicated to EDS and would work whatever hours necessary to make the project successful. Prayers to the family he loved so much.
