I’m not good at this. Shine was my peer for 25 years. We are polar opposites. Big time. I was terrified of him at first. I will not share how we broke the ice. I can tell you it was it was awesome. I mean epic.
He knew I was a music nerd. This is my two fav David’s. I wish we were outback in the yard sharing.

The world is less interesting without Paul.
To his family, I send my deepest condolences. I first met Paul in kindergarten, and we fast became school friends. We shared a love of baseball and learning the German language. For four years we sat beside each other in German class and shared laughs and stories about our young lives.
From a very early age, Paul let us know he would become a pilot…and maybe even an astronaut.
For most of us, at some point in our young lives we develop a plan for what we want to become as an adult. What was so impressive about Paul was that: he had his life plan together faster than most of us; he executed his plan with flawless precision; and, he relished every moment in the journey.
I last saw Paul at our 10-year high school reunion. He was well on his way to fulfilling all his dreams. From all accounts, he lived an exceptional life — and Paul was an exceptional person.
Celebrate this extraordinary man and his legacy! He is missed, but never forgotten.

Paul and I had several things in common and thus were instant friends at FedEx. We both flew F-14s in the Navy, were FedEx pilots in the 727, worked as instructors in the Training Department, and enjoyed shooting and drinking beer. Paul was the total professional and a great guy too. I will miss him!
