   Paul was a darned good man, and for sure he was energetic and positive.   
   He really walked his talk here. Few were the times I ever saw him lose   
   his temper, unfortunately I am guilty of provoking one or two.   
      
   I liked his consistency and willingness to speak the truth to all sides.   
      
   54's still too young to punch out, I'll trust that he accomplished all   
   he could in this life and will do more in the next.   
      
   Rock on paul.
