I was a child hood friend of Paul. We and my friend Serena spent many hours playing house and such. We enjoyed all the different roles we took. This was in South city. California. I remember his mom Bea that was close friend of my mother. She was very proud of him. His father maybe not. Did not know much about his father. He seemed very stern when in was a child. So glad to hear his good life. Even as a child he loved jewels. I hope this gets to someone who was close t9 Paul.s
