A very sad loss for our 'Mediator community' and for his family. My thoughts are with his family as they confront the impact of Paul's passing. I knew Paul well as a professional colleague and shared the 'stage' with him at conferences and advanced mediated training programs. One of my great regrets is that I didn't have him sign and dedicate my copy of his book which has been an invaluable resource for me, and for many others. Paul will be missed greatly by many. He left a mark on all those with whom he had contact over many years. May the memory of his generous spirit, his bright and engaging personality, his wicked sense of humour, and his insights about mediation and conflict resolution stay with us.
