My deepest condolences to the Chen family. I had the pleasure of working with Paul on a couple of lookback projects about 15 -20 years ago. He was a true gentleman - smart, kind and always will to help, with a great sense of humor. I remember those days fondly. Rest in peace my friend!
Eddie and I are so sad we did not get to say goodbye . You were a great friend. We loved visiting you in Naples and when we came to New York. You will always be in our heart. May you rest in peace.
My condolences to the Chen family. Paul, your legacy will be remembered and treasured for eternity by all.
I have lost a great friend. Paul and I have shared many good times together both individually and with our families over the last 51 years. Since I met him in 1974 at the IRS we've maintained our friendship through his tour of the Treasury Department (ATF, US Customs and Secret Service details), his stint with Homeland Security and into his retirement years. He was always fun to be around and had a good sense of humor. Paul was a gentleman and was there for me and others through good and bad times. He could always be relied on for help whether it be professionally or personally. He will be sorely missed by me, my wife, Maureen, and our family…
