Paul was such a great neighbor and a friend. I’m so thankful for all the time we spent chatting about life, work, and everything in between. I really miss him.

I can’t even begin to tell you our whole story. It’s one for the books and full of opposition on my part. Paul broke me down bit by bit and showed me what was possible. I eventually had no choice but to surrender to his love, patience and warmth. Our love has forever changed me. I don’t know why he left how he did, but I do know that Paul loved intentionally and on his terms. He made his presence huge and full of an all encompassing love that made you stop in your tracks. Paul wanted it all, and I’m so thankful I was a part of his life for the short yet meaningful time I was. He lived life on his terms and he left it the same. Paul was a force. A force of love, generosity, wisdom, mystery and a complexity that I will never fully comprehend. I miss his smile, his goofy ways and his incessant need to make it all perfect. That use to aggravate me. Life is busy but Paul never wanted to short change anything! It was his love language to say hey, I went above and beyond for you, because you matter. I appreciate him and his love for others. It was one of the many things I loved about him. His vacancy is a galaxy in my universe. I will never be the same and I will always love the life we lived. Beau and I truly miss him. It’s a loss that we have to navigate on a daily basis. Our compass is his love for us, his care for us and the wishes he clearly left.

Paul was the most generous soul who would work days and days to make our neighborhood get togethers awesome. He was a beloved member of the community and will be so very missed.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Paul’s passing. I had the privilege of working with him in New York City in the late 1990s on what felt like an impossible project at the time. His calm demeanor, deep expertise and sense of humor were admired by everyone, and over that time he became a trusted friend. My sincere condolences to his family.
