[David P. Williams]

I first met and stayed with Paul in 1999 when I was researching my first book in which he was one of the subjects.

I went to various night fighter reunions with him and enjoyed numerous trips to his home with my wife and daughter over the last 15 years. A real gentleman who endured 5 long, hard years as a prisoner of the Soviets.

He was a close friend who will be sorely missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him. Our condolences go to Gerda, his wife of almost 70 years.
