To the family and friends,
I am very sorry for your loss- too many of us taken before all we wish to complete has transpired. We were all the better for Paul's laugh and down to earthness. Cathy, through this pitiful medium I am hoping to send an embrace.

Paul has been the glue that has kept so many of us connected to each over the years. Past the wonderfully delicious gossip he could sometimes share, he was connected because he truly cared about all of us. I'm so grateful and humbled by his family's (especially Cathy and Kathy) generousity in allowing so many of us to share his last days. Thank you for giving me the chance to say goodbye to my old friend.
