I worked closely with Paul for almost 7 years at Barnum & Celillo Electric. We were affectionately known as "the Skipper & Gilligan" around the office. We shared a lot of great times together and had some fun along the way. He was a mentor to me and I will miss him. I had the pleasure to spend an evening with him in mid March, we had dinner and chatted a while. We shared old war(construction) stories, new ones, jokes and he spoke a great deal of his son Tom, how proud he was of him, the man, his accomplishments both in the industry and him as his son. In closing we spoke of the next time we'd get together.

Rest well Paul, your race was faithfully run.
