I so enjoyed Paul and Zola as part of the Cardiac Rehab family. I will miss the glint in his eye as he spoke of the many passions in his life. I was especially intrigued by the "spa's" he spoke of where he lived in the winter. I still am not sure of the specifics, but know Paul enjoyed his annual trek south.
