Chas and I were so, so sorry to learn of Paul's passing. We have the most wonderful memories of the wonderful times, dinners and activities our families shared while living in Boca Bath &Tennis;. Paul's collaborations with Chas brought joy and creativity to all of us! Paul's twinkling eyes, hearty laugh, generous spirit and kind soul will always be remembered and greatly missed. It is so very hard to believe this giant of a man is no longer with us on Earth! Our most sincere condolences to everyone!
