  1. I was so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. Paul was my supervisor for several years, and everyone enjoyed working with him. He was always positive, even when things in the office were hectic. An all-around good guy. My sympathies to his family and friends.

  3. I was sadden to hear of Paul's passing. I worked for him for a good number of years at NYS. We had many 'lively' discussions concerning problems and their solutions which we both enjoyed. We belonged to a lottery subscription and while we never hit it big, we had a good time thnking about what we would do when we did. He taught me how to fly using a flight simlulator and while I never really got into the air, what he showed me was intersting. He was a really good guy and a great boos. He was always quick with a smile and a laugh. And he also took it in stride when someone would call him Gunther (inside joke among the staff). My thoughts to his family.
