I was saddened to hear the passing of Paul. I was close to him years ago. He was a great bridge player (but not so great tennis player). Most importantly Paul walked the walked and helped many including myself. His passing has brought up a lot of fond memories. My condolences to a his family and all his many friends. Glenn

I did not know Paul, but I do know his son. And through the words others have shared here, I can see that Peter must have received some of his wonderful traits from his dad. My condolences to you all.

Very Sad to hear of Paul's passing. I was only fortunate to work with Paul for a few years but it was an honor to work with and get to know him. He always treated people well and he always knew how to enjoy life. He was a person of great integrity and character. RIP: Paul!!!

I am sorry to hear about your loss. He will always be with you. I know how horrible it feels because of losing my father this week also.
Think of the good times before he was sick. It will help you through this. Know he loved you. You will see him again someday.
Sincerely, John Britton

Paul was so kind to me, and he was so much fun -- someone who lived life fully. He was a good friend, and I'll miss him. To his family, I say: please accept my sympathy.
