I heard of Paul's passing with sadness and nostalgia at losing a compassionate human being and someone I considered a friend. Though not having regular contact with Paul, on the occasions when I met him either at funerals, walking in town or when arranging my own family funeral details, to me Paul was exactly the person described in the newspaper obituary. My sincere condolences. Bolton has lost a pillar of our community. Jerry Gorman
