Sadness filled my heart to hear this news. My deep condolences to Paul's surviving wife, children, family and friends. Paul was held in such high regard in junior high school and high school by all his classmates including me. He was always a brilliant student and a very kind hearted person. Even in junior high school he knew he was going to be a doctor and help others. With deep sympathy, Pauline Krieg Appelbaum
