For a number of years prior to his retirement, Paul would play bridge in the HP cafeteria during the lunch hour. I am one of the dozen or so other players who enjoyed his company and admired his skills. He will be missed.

Dear family and friends,
In 1969 we, Lavien and Peter, met Paul in the south of France (Nice) where he was with his friend Joe. We were a club of American and Dutch people, were young and had lots of fun. After that Paul and Joe came to Amsterdam and Paul immediately fell in love with this city. He found a job and stayed for more than six years in which we had a wonderful time. After those six years Paul returned to the U.S.A.; he married and got two children. We always kept in contact. He came to Europe or we to the U.S.A. We remember Paul as a loving, funny, crazy guy. Especially during his last visit with Chris to Amsterdam one week ago we had a lovely time seeing each other and had lots of fun. We give our sincere condelences to Paul's family and friends. We will really miss our friend.
Love Lavien & Elaine, Peter & Marion

Dear Freidson family,
As a colleague of Paul's at HP I was impressed by his willingness to take on tough tasks with good humor and commitment. He was someone you could always count on, and a pleasure to work with. On the personal side we shared a love of musical theatre, so he always told me of his New York visits as well as his other family visits, which he treasured. It's sad that his new life was only beginning, but comforting to know that he was with family. My deep condolences to you all for losing Paul far too soon.

Dear Freidson Family, I have been a friend of Paul's for the past 5 years at HP. I wanted to let you know how often he spoke of his pride and love for his sons and granddaughters. He was never so happy as when he was looking forward to visiting you or just back from visiting you. He kept numerous pictures of you all on his cube walls. He also treasured his daughters-in-laws and was so happy to see his sons' success in their family lives. Please accept my sincere sympathy during this time of sorrow.
