I was sorry to learn of Paul's passing. I joined Paul's GE Compressor Aero Design Group in the 1970s. Over 5 years, it became obvious to me that Paul was both a skilled compressor aero design person and truly a natural for the group's manager. I will continue to remember Paul Griffiths as one uniquely skilled and talented person that I was fortunate to have met and known.

Paul was my first boss at GE when I started in 1979 right out of college. What a blessing is was to have him as a boss both for technical growth and as a great person and mentor. I remember a story that when my first paycheck was going to be a month out and I mentioned how tough it was going to be - Paul was worried and asked if I needed any help. He taught me so much about engineering - including being curious and asking if test results made sense. Paul was always such a caring person and always had an interest in my career assignments. I feel so lucky to have worked with and also being a friend of Paul's. He will be missed greatly!

I will always remember Paul as a kind neighbor walking Arnie and seeing he and Libby at the Lodge when I would take my little dog to visit the residents. Paul would always go and get Arnie so he could play with the other dogs. I was so sad to read this - my deepest sympathy to Libby and the family.
