I haven't seen Paul since we moved out of the neighborhood when we were kids. We used to live on the same street and ride the same school bus. I've often wondered what happend to the kids in our old neighborhood, so I was very saddened to learn of Paul's passing. His family will be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Paul's family and other friends. I work as a supervisor for dart, and I can tell you all Paul had a very strong passion for transit and helping people. Two summers ago, Paul and I worked together at the state capital running the fair shuttle. That Saturday the State Fair had record attendance. We were boarding two, to three buses at a time. We kept the lines short, the buses moving and everyone had a blast. Other times, I would see Paul in the Transit Mall (Walnut st) all of the time. I saw him many times try to keep stray private vehicles out of the transit mall. I know the drivers really appreciated that. Paul will be missed, but he most certainly will not be forgotten.
