Our prayers are with Paul's family and friends. Paul was a wonderful person to work with over the past 8 or 10 years. Always helpful and easy to talk with. I'll miss him as will those of us at ACS in New Jersey.

I’m very sad to hear about Mr. Ahrens’s untimely passing. I grew up in Arlington, going to school with his son Matt. Mr. Ahrens was always a part of his family’s life. He was even the coach of our basket ball team for several years. I have very fond memories of him and send my condolences to his family. I'm very sorry for their loss.
