I saw Paul on a regular basis while at work and had always admired his free spirit. My heart goes out to his family, we will all miss him.

Reading the paper tonight, I was saddened when I read about Paul. My family and I were part of the sailing group at Chautauqua and Atwood and often competed against Paul and Bill. As part of his "sailing family", I am very sorry to hear of his passing and hope that the family can soon come to terms with his departure by remembering the good times we all had and the happy times we shared. My deepest sympathy.... Susanne Curn Escobar M.D.
