He was a very close friend of Greenville legend Audie Murphy, and spoke here on a number of occasions.  A great guy by all accounts.

I remember watching The Untouchables in WOR 9 (New York)  as a little guy in the early 1970's.  I loved the car chases and the shootouts and just everyhting about it. As Elliot Ness, Robert Stack was one of the good guys!

Many of the shows I watched as a kid were reruns of old stuff, and as one who got to see most of this stuff, I count myself truly lucky to have lived thru the end time of what was perhaps the greatest TV generation (with the 80's getting runner up for it's day!)

I remember reading about the fight he had with Andre de Toth which degenerated into DeToth reflecting on Paul's heritage and calling him a chickensh*t coward into the bargain. This was about the guillotine scene in House of Wax. RIP, Paul.
