    Having attended UCONN with Paul in 1960, I remember him well. We lived in Grange Hall at the time.
    Many times his friends would accompany him to lectures in order to take notes for him. We learned much in the process!
    In spite of his sight restriction, nothing kept Paul from accomplishing his goals. Paul’s good sense of humor, a level head, lots of insight; Paul taught us lesser beings how to think!
    I heard of Paul’s passing recently from a mutual friend, Paul Stotler, also at college with us.
    Surely such a man will be sorely missed by family, friends, and his community!
    May he rest in eternal peace and may his family find peace and strength to continue until you are all reunited in Heaven again!
