Paul was one of the finest talents. Exceptional. We first met during the 1980s through work and were luck to reconnect later in life. He loved to cook and was equally talented in the kitchen. We shared many a fabulous meal together. Paul always had a smile for everyone and he will be greatly missed by those who loved him. My deepest condolences to Anders, Emma, David, the rest of the family and his many, many friends. Rest in peace dear Paul.

I am shocked and saddened by Paul's passing. Too soon. We became good friends in the early 80's as young photographers starting out. Having coffee, chatting and watching Paul work at "The Lighthouse" was my inspiration to start my own advertising studio. His immense talent and likeable personalty made him unstoppable. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. RIP my friend.
