Dear Paul,
It is with a heavy heart that we have to accept that you are no longer with us. In our memories, you still are and will always be so much alive, bright and young.
We got acquainted at Sennheiser’s, and kept meeting each other for dozens of times in so many different places for various occasions for about 20 years. There were Zuid Bahnhof parties, Global Conferences and many other places and meetings, but there also was a very special one where we were both lucky and happy to host you together with a team from BBC for one of the Eurovision Song Contests in Ukraine.
We feel pride while remembering so many different sides of you - smart and enterprising, so much stylish and so highly British, but also kind and generous, warm and friendly, easy and full of joy. You were always convincing- be it either punching open a barrel of beer with a traditional Bavarian hammer in Munich, or signing half a million contract with BBC on a scrap of a tissue paper in Amsterdam.
Now we remain grateful to you and feel honored to have met you. We will keep you as much alive as you have always been in our hearts and memories.
Rest In Peace
Anna & Dmitry
