I'm sorry to learn of Paul's death. We were friends as kids who went to St Therese's together. Paul's mother deputized me to pick out a surprise puppy for him. I remember walking uptown on a snowy day in January to get Puff, a miniature white Collie, for his birthday--I forget which one. The following summer I was invited to spend a week or so in their cottage in Ocean CIty. We spent our days at the beach, and, if I am remembering correctly, saw West Side Story in a local movie house. We picked and ate apples from a tree next to his house on Miner St. They were the sweetest apples I had ever tasted. I miss him.

In 2014 I went to Urgent Care for what I thought was food poisoning. After a long time of Dr. Wall running tests I said to him, "Are we almost done? I have to be at work in an hour." He replied back, "You're not going to work; you're checking into the hospital."
Dr. Wall saved my life that day. I will never forget it.

There are some who bring a light so bright to the world that even after they have gone the light remains. Paul was such a person. He was my closest friend of 53 years having met as roommates in College. He was a great guy, and enjoyed helping people. He could relate to people which helped make him a great human being as well as a physician. I will sorely miss my good friend, but the memories of our time together and endless conversations will live on. Our heartfelt condolences to Doris and family.
