Share a Memory with Paul

Paul was many things to many people: a devoted husband, a steady patriarch, a father by choice and by love, a proud grandfather, a pediatric neurologist: a healer of complex minds and tender hearts, a mentor to young doctors, a protector of the vulnerable, a tireless advocate for children with special needs, a child-whisperer, a safe harbor, a storyteller, a volunteer, a generous host, a faithful friend, a provider, a quiet hero.

He built a home where there was always room for one more — one more child at the table, one more teenager needing refuge, one more friend passing through.

We want to hear what he meant to you. Please share your favorite memory together or how he influenced you.
