Paul was a friend and colleague at J.E.J. Moore Middle School. Our love of history led to many long discussions after school, in which I soaked in his very detailed knowledge. He was a brilliant, kind, and gentle man, as well as a loyal friend! May you enjoy multiple historical reenactments in Heaven, Mr. P! Love, Betsy Korb

Paul was a great friend, a gifted artist and one of the kindest men I have ever known. I will miss his warm smile and humor.
