Condolences to all who loved Paul. I did not know him except for his big smile and generous love he showed Suzanne. He was always respectful and caring when the ladies were gathered for Book club. What a sweet and gentle soul.

Paul was also a high school varsity golfer in Austin. We used to play at the Taos Country Club and apart from his excellent play, he always displayed his friendly Leo personality. Sorry he left us while so young. -- Allen Besen
