It was a privilege to work with and become friends with Paul. He always had a great outlook on life and lived it well. One of my favorite Paul quotes. . . "You're not big enough!" Still makes me smile! He will be greatly missed and will have forever impacted my life. Thanks for being Paul!

We cross many paths in our life and meet people in passing who become casual or business acquaintances, friends, close friends, and those who leave an ever lasting impression. It's so easy to know which one Paul was because he left a mark on my life in so many ways. Sometimes we never truly know why we cross paths with people, is it by chance, is it by divine appointment. Well for me once again it's easy to know with Paul it was by divine appointment. Only God could have orchestrated such a life to impact so many people as Paul's did and it was a blessing to be a part of it. He will always been in my heart, rest now in the loving arms of Jesus my little buddy.

I worked with Paul over many years at CSU and truly enjoyed the friendship I had with him. I'm sorry to hear about him passing but I will never forget his smile and his caring personality. I always enjoyed talking about the Broncos with him. Although he will be missed...I feel blessed to have known him...Paul will always hold a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with Paul's family during this time.
