What? Oh my gosh! So many of us just saw Paul in Halifax and at DDL for Ringu Tulku's program. Although coughing more, but still smoking one cigarette a day, he didn't miss a session of teaching or practice or rota. Paul has been a dear friend throughout the decades, periodically phoning or emailing or showing up in Halifax unannounced, inviting me to dinner and a dharma talk. Usually he had a dharma question to ask or for us to ponder. This is very sad news, and am sure his sweet wife, grown daughters, and 3 year old granddaughter are shocked and grieving, as Paul was as devoted to his family as he was to the dharma. Love to them all.
