Paul was one of my absolute favorite people. During my decade at Bryn Mawr I never saw someone else more in Park Science than I saw Paul. Every Saturday, every Sunday, everyday. Smoking, puffing, thinking, talking, smiling, sitting, leaning back arms clasped over head …just being Paul. The many afternoon breaks to his office, the many morning conversations over coffee, the many random stops in the hall will most surely be missed by me. Paul forced me to think in ways I was, and am, unaccustomed to. Our discussions about what science is, how to teach science, the evolution of scientific thought and inquiry, the different perceptions of science, etc., are, and will continue to be, some of my most cherished intellectual experiences.

My heart aches at the early loss of a friend, but I know he wouldn’t want that, so I will just smile, remember and be happy I got to know and experience Paul Grobstein as one of the truest people I have ever had the fortune of interacting with.

I love you Paul!
