My sincere condolences to all family and friends grieving the loss of this man. Our country will never forget.

I met Paul, a fellow Binghamton University grad when he was a still a senior. I was in Binghamton working for ABC Sports. I had arranged with Paul a tour of the ABC production trucks for WHRW-FM DJs. He was smart, kind, and a joy to be around.

Our lives were forever altered by this tragic strike on America and our family; but we continue with the strength and grace of God and our memories of Paul. Cousin Mary

The BIG smile on Paul's face every morning always warms me. I worked with Paul on the 100th floor. Although, I was no longer working there for almost 1 month prior to the tragedy, but Paul will always call me up and say ' Azmee ... when are we gonna hang out' The lunches at South Street Seaport with Ivy, the after hour drinks in Aubette with Armand and Andrew ... now that I'm back in Malaysia, and working for American Express, I miss my fellow Marsh collegues. It has never been the same. Paul..you are brilliant and charming. Marsh lost an asset! I still listen to the cds you made for me. And on 9/11/03, I will play it here in Kuala Lumpur, and you would say ... terrrrrific!! with a big smile :)

Paul worked with Marsh Risk Finance during the summer of 1998 when we were still at the 125 Broad Steet address. He was such a fine young man and quickly acquired the nickname 'Rocket' by his young associates because of his wizardry with the computer. We did not know that Paul had become a full-time employee until the terrible event of 9/11/01. My heart goes out to Paul's family and friends for this untimely, unnecessary loss.
