    I was so sorry to learn about Paul's death. He was my teacher when I took a  correspondence course with the NIA (Newspaper Institute of America) back at the end of the 1970's. An American, living abroad, It was a difficult time in my life and, tho' I didn't mention it, I think he realized it. His critique and encouragement helped me to keep my head above water, and gave me something to look forward to. When I wrote an essay using quotes i learned that he also loved them, and told me about "The Stevenson Home Book of Quotations," a huge tome of quotes which he owned. I was quite surprised when I discovered that the main library In the city of Gothenburg, Sweden, where I now live, also had an example of it! 
   
   I shall always remember him with gratitude for changing my life.

I am still stunned by the discovery that my long time friend Paul has died. Such a decent man, and certainly my favorite theater date. Does anyone know how to reach his niece in Long Island?

I just learned of Paul's death when a friend from California, who was trying to track him down, discovered his obituary.  He was such a kind, gentle, good person.  I always loved to meet him in the halls of CBS News, where he spent many years as a writer, and always had a smile and kind word for everyone. 
    I knew he wrote plays, but was unaware how prolific he was, and also  how much he gave back to his church and his community, caring for others less fortunate than himself.  He made the world a better place.  Thank you, Paul.

I just found out today that Paul passed away. He was a cousin of mine through the Enger family, but since he was in New York and I in Washington we only saw one another a few times. However I always followed his career and admired his work. Rest in Peace Paul!

I only learned of Paul's death when my Christmas card was returned yesterday.  It was a shock.  He was a wonderful man and I feel grateful to have known him.

I am really so happy to have known Paul.
Paul was a smart, warm, caring and loving man. 
I so enjoyed speaking with him whenever I would see him. 
Paul truly cares about everyone 
he comes intact with. I as well as my family will truly miss Paul and he will always have a special 
place in our hearts.

Paul was a kind and dear man. I am glad to have known him.

Our family has always admired and held Paul in high esteem.  He lived life to the fullest and gave everyone his best.  We will miss corresponding with him. May God comfort you with His peace and love today and in the days to come.

Paul's welcoming presence was a source of joy and strength to us all

A life well lived. My condolences to all who were close to Paul.
