Paul was one of the very best friends I ever had.

I worked for Paul for many years. I found him to be the most caring, compassionate and funny person that I ever had the pleasure to meet. He became a dear friend despite upper management's mandate to keep business involvements strickly business. I clearly will remember him as a very dear friend. It was because of him that I gained the courage and confidence to excel in that employment. He will forever be missed. I love you Paul (the best boss ever)!

My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your brother, Paul.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. I love you, Paul and will miss you.
