We are much saddened by Paul's departure, for Carl and Jane especially but for your families too, and for all of Paul's very many friends. Paul will be remembered above all as a gentleman [and Helen as a gentle lady]. RIP.

Paul´s death leaves a huge gap in our community. I remember him fondly for his quiet compassion, his professional integrity, his beautiful mind and questing faith. Paul was also a shining example to us all in the way he cared for his wife Helen throughout her long illness. Surely, his path to eternity is strewn with goodness and mercy.
