I just learned of Paul's passing this moment when attempting to call him at Bank Financial. I met Paul many years ago when working for Talman Home S&L. When he left LaSalle Bank I referred customers to him which I could not help, knowing that if Paul could assist them he would. I was today attempting to give him a referral.

I am so saddened for the loss of this wonderful person. Dear family and friends please accept my sorrow.

I just learned of Paul's death. I am so shocked and saddened, We often walked our dogs together and met at the beach to let them romp like crazy. I have many photos of them, most of which I have already given to Paul. What fun we had. My German shepherd Bravo just adored and was adored by Erin, Jockster and Fritz. Those precious animals clearly loved Paul. He was so devoted to them and patient and good humored when it came to his animals. How they must miss him. My first thought was of Paul's mother of whom he spoke so very often. She sounded like such a lovely person and a real friend and example to Paul. My heart goes out to you, ma'am, but please know that you raised a wonderful son who brought such joy to others, just by walking down the street. I will miss seeing him with his "schnocky" kids. I am just so shocked. Will someone please let me know what happened?

When Paul entered a room he brought in a certain energy, it was a good energy. He made you smile, he made you laugh, that's how I'll remember him.

I met Paul in 1992 when I worked at Lasalle Talman Bank @ Dearborn & Monroe. He was a genuinely kind and thoughtful guy, and had an AWESOME sense of humour. He will be missed!

I'll remember Paul as being a really good sport, both on and off the volleyball court.



He now joins one of his idols, Dusty Springfield, in the great afterlife...

I wanted to express my condolences on your loss. Paul was my neighbor and we chatted often as he walked his dogs. He always managed to brighten my day with his smile. I will miss him!
