I am so sorry Paul was a great Guy
Paul you were a gentleman and a scholar!
Your smile lit up the room. You will be missed so much!
I am a little sad I didn’t get to wear my pink tafata and dance at your wedding but just wait for me up there and we will toast to you and the wonderful love of your life Mary .
Paul was my older brother, and my dear Bubby. We are close in age. I loved having heart to heart chats with Paul. He was always kind and honest. After I got married, I moved to Orlando, FL. Paul sometimes worked a convention in Orlando. My kids, husband and I would get together with him for dinner. Sometimes he had enough time to spend an evening at our home. Several times I sat alongside for an hour to see him work. He was always friendly, cheerful and welcoming.
Chris.
I am so sorry for the loss of your brother.
Hugs.

My deepest sympathies to Mary and everyone who’s lives were touched by this kind and gentle man.
Thoughts and prayers are with the entire Frank family. Paul sowed kindness and humility on all the jobs we worked together. He was a great example of a good human. He will be missed.
Vaya Con Dios brother. See you on the other side.
Paul was always a beacon of kindness in the cold AV backstage world but more so in everywhere else he touched. He was always a positive voice of comfort and reason. His solemn demeaner was his strength and often the glue that held us all together. There are no words that can bring comfort to this end. We can all learn from his dedication to others and in this his service above self that rang true in both his personal and professional life. Paul’s spirit is with us and may God be with him and all his family and friends during this difficult time and in the future.
Sending Mary, Jackie, and Paul’s entire family our love and condolences. Paul has been such a wonderful friend to our family over the last four decades. We loved spending time with him and Mary. So much fun. So kind. He will be deeply missed by us all.
