I had the pleasure of flying with Paul for 3 years and 2 deployments.  He was as good a dude as they come.  Rest easy, brother.

I flew with him as a young nav and ran into him again as a 38 stud at DLF. I saw him in the hall not 15 minutes before we stepped to fly on Monday and we talked about hopefully flying 4-ship together for old times sake. One of the most gregarious, over the top, talk your ear off for hours larger than life guys I've ever known. F*ck,  this one hurts.  I'll miss you brother.

I knew him in field training and ran into him again during pilot training. What a great dude. Made field training a riot, and great support for a dude trying to figure out the transition from navy 34s to the 38. Very sad day in the aviation industry. He will truly be missed.

Him him.

That’s the quintessential SIIC picture, if I’ve seen one. Him him.
