Paul worked with me to set up a filing system for Pima County Zoning Enforcement. He was a kind and funny man. What a sense of humor he had. This month was his birthday month. We used to have lunch together. He will be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about Paul's passing. I also worked with Paul at Pima County, he always had something funny to say and would make my day so much brighter.

I am very sorry to hear about Paul passing away. I worked with Paul for several years at Pima County and we became very good friends. We would very often meet for lunch at verious locations around Tucson. We kept up with each other for several years following our retirements. I lost touch with Paul after his last surgery.

I will miss his friendship and his sense of humor.
