Paul was a unique, wonderful individual who will be missed immensely. I'll always treasure his great heart, his intense curiosity and passion for life, his love for those in his life, and his patience, and I consider myself lucky to have met someone with such qualities in such measure. We had some great discussions, and even if we didn't always agree, I always learned something... and he always tolerated my dissent with the utmost grace and goodwill, which was an example that I cherish and perhaps the thing I learned the most from. I find that I lack the words to sum up the combination of joy and sadness I feel: joy at his life, sadness at his passing, and a sense that I'll only come to truly understand what he meant with the passage of time. And to his family and friends, my deepest condolences... my heart goes out to you all.
Pete
