RGPS President Tana Karn mentioned that, “I was extremely lucky to get to see Paul one last time at Horseshoe Iowa for his last tour stop back in November. We chatted and also spoke about his cancer diagnosis. As devastating as the news was you could tell that he wasn’t going to let it bring him down. I’ve seen him take some crazy bad beats over the years and each time he would somehow manage to fall in love with the game more. He loved life and enjoying as much as he could out of every moment.”
