Paul was a great guy who liked to teach and share. Sorry to hear of his passing. He was a mentor to me as I was starting my ENG carrier back in the 80's.
Working with him at McGraw Edison then Cooper Lighting he one time for a secret Santa gift gave me a circuit board learning kit as a gift to help expand my knowledge on circuits. As a friend he once gave me a radio controlled plane to start me in that hobby. I will never forget his influence on me. RIP Paul

Pat, family, I am so sorry about Paul´s passing. I knew him way back in the 1950s and we both loved science. He tutored me. Paul was my Dad´s friend and mine too.
