I got to know Paul while working on the Burent Oaks Development in North Beach, MD. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, reliable and organized in his work on this project. While I was working with him, I considered him a good friend but lost touch with him after I retired and moved from this area. My sincere condolences to his family.
