My sincere condolences to you Anne and the other family members. Although I have never played poker with Paul, I have known him for over 40 years starting at the Bureau of Ships. He was a friend first and a great boss later in our careers. He will be missed by all of us that had the pleasure of knowing him. God Bless

My sincere condolences to Paul's family. I met Paul at the poker table about a year ago and learned a great deal from our encounters. He was a charming, even-tempered man, a gracious winner, and a thorough gentleman. He will be missed.

My condolences, Anne. I met Paul from across the poker table and he modeled the characteristics of a sterotypical poker player...tough, gruff, no-nonsense. Admirable.
