So happy that you did this tribute and shared it with us. So much of what was told in this video by those who knew him well confirmed what I observed from my brief acquaintance with Dr. Loiselle, waiting on him as a customer in the Southern California fish store where I worked as an 18 year old kid. From the way he schooled me on a mislabeled African cichlid species right down to the plaid shirt/khaki shorts attire, that was Paul, but always kind and generous with his time. To this day I am amazed that he took the time to converse with me, as if I had any knowledge to offer him. An awesome human being in so many respects!
