To the Edwards family: Paul rented a room from me when we attended law school together. We continued to stay in contact at least once a year just to see how things were going. I just learned about his passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Paul was a great person. I've attached the only picture I have, from our graduation ceremony. May God give you a double portion of strength and love

I was saddened to hear about Paul's passing. Paul was always so kind to me and we would always have great talks on the tennis courts. He surprised me at ICC and started taking a tennis class with me... I will be thinking of you Pat and Larry in Prayer and in Love... Betsey

I have not seen Paul in several years but it always grieves me to see a fellow gamer pass away at any age. But I truly believe he is in a better place now and will be missed by all his friends and family.
Sincerely Russell Hartley.
