I met Paul working at GE many years ago. I was the annoying engineer trying to fix something that was not broken on the equipment he was running. He kept me in check, as he should have. In the end we contributed to the operation together. Later he would say hi in the hallway. He would not let you miss his greeting. What a great human being. Glad I had the chance to be in his presence. So sorry to hear of his passing.
