Being a notary was a part of him. His notarial seal was am extension of him. He was the type of notary that I certainly have aspired to be, as we all should. He was respected in his community and brought dignity back to the office of Notary Public. Paul is not only a loss to this board, but a loss to the people of Florida and to the entire notary community. We are fortunate to have some bits and pieces of his vast knowledge permanently archived here on NR.
I hope with his passing all Florida notaries will step up to the plate to bring back the respect to our position. It starts with us. Paul, like myself, was passionate about being a notary and refused to degrade himself by dealing with scum sucking signing services. He had tried to work with lawmakers to reform notary law but never met with success. He wanted the best for notaries. I for one want us all to carry on this tradition.
