I have been lucky enough to work with Paul for the last 5 years. He was a very supportive manager and I always admired the way he came up with creative ideas to solve issues raised by social services. The last time I saw Paul was at the work car park. He was beaming from ear to ear as he proudly showed me his new car, we then took the 10 minute walk to the office together laughing and joking. I will miss his sense of humour and the many amusing stories that he used to tell. My thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
