Paul was a friend of mine from Pittsburgh. We played football together at South Hills High School and went to Washburn University in Topeka Kansas. Paul was a fierce competitor on the field. This past June a lot his friends spent a fun filled three days together reminiscing. All of us will miss you at these reunions. My condolences to his family and friends.

Paul gave one his undivided attention. He may not have agreed, but he listened intently. He was funny, generous, sincere, and will be sorely missed.
