Dear Barbara and family,
It is with great grief that I just now came across Paul's obituary. Even though belated and untimely, I could not keep myself from sending you my deepmost condolences. Paul was, as you know, my mentor and friend and we touched bases often during our professional life in the mining world, more often than not seeking his valued advice. He will be in my fondest memories always.
