Paul was very helpful with my sailing. He encouraged me and hosted me for two summers while i was in college and working at Pettipaug. He made sure I was in an unforgettable spot to watch the launch of the "La Jolla" submarine. I will never forget that day, or the memory of Paul.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Risseeuw family at this sad time.
I worked directly for Mr. Risseeuw for many years at Electric Boat and our friendship continued after his retirement. He was a mentor and a dear friend to me and I will surely miss him. RIP Mr. Risseeuw.

Paul was always among the first at any US Sailing or US Powerboat event to offer a warm smile and to express genuine interest in the other person's work and activities. Our Edison Sailing Center Family extends its heartfelt sympathy to his family - both his "kin" and his "water" families. We are all better because we knew Paul!

Paul loved junior sailing - he even referred to the ECSA juniors as "my kids." Through various organizations, I was able to get to know Paul and admired his kindness, wit and enthusiasm! Thank you Paul - we'll try to keep up what you built. We know you'll be watching.

My condolences to the Risseeuw family. I worked for many years with Paul at Electric Boat and he was a pleasure to work with. After his retirement he came back to EB and taught classes for the Design Apprentice Program. His knowledge and professionalism was an inspiration to these young Designers just starting their careers. He will be remembered by the Apprentice School Staff and Apprentices.

I'm sorry to hear of Paul's passing. Both of my kids took his sailing class. He was a good man. It is my hope that you find strength in the memories you hold dear during this holiday season.
