My wife Vicki and I knew Paul from NCR but travelled in different circles. Paul knew Vicki through our friend Tony Rickert. We had not seen Paul for years but became reacquainted with him at Juravinski in the ODS ward. Paul recognized Vicki during one of his early visits. I came to truly appreciate Paul as a very warm, kind and thoughtful gentleman during these ODS visits. Paul was obviously sick, but always showed more interest in what was going on with Vicki. One day when Vicki was in a room in ODS, Paul sought her out and came in to join us. He sat with us for an hour that afternoon, talking and telling stories and keeping us company. We laughed for almost 60 minutes straight. I can't tell you how nice it is and rare it is to hear laughter and be laughing in B4 and C4. Paul always left us feeling better than when he found us. That says a lot about Paul being so kind and considerate of others, when he was dealing with his own challenges. I will always have a warm spot in my heart for Paul and think of him fondly. He made our days at Juravinski fun and we always looked forward to seeing him. I thought you'd like to hear that story. Sorry to hear his sad news.
