Paul (Fuzzy) was my Branch chief when I worked as an investigator with IRS (Now TIGTA). He was a very nice man and funny. I owe him thanks for really pushing me to invest in the governments 401K which is called the TSP. Because of his advice I now have a nice nest egg to enjoy in my retirement. Paul was one of a kind in a good way. RIP Paul. Tom
