I received a very sad news last night.
A great and talented man – Paul Conrad Buff – founder of PaulCBuff Inc. sadly passed away.
A true inventor, talented, hardworking and all round great man.
You can read more about Paul here on the PCB website >>
Paul was quite a special person to me.
As creatives we try to stay focused, work hard and always on top of our game.
But as many know this can be a tiresome journey and not necessarily a rewarding one, at least not for a while.
I do believe that by applying yourself and working harder than other people you can make your dreams a reality…
Paul was exactly that and what’s more important, he understood likeminded people.
I remember as if it were yesterday, around five years ago Paul contacted me directly and said “I love your work, and would like us to work together. How can we help”
I wish that everyone could meet someone like Mr Buff who will simply believe in your efforts and push you in the right direction.
At that time a lot of elements fall into right places for me and I knew that I must did something right and so I decided to try even harder.
Paul gave me and my work an important momentum.
Who knows, maybe I would get where I am anyway, and maybe not.
What I am sure of is that he gave me that kick-start at the very right time in my journey that I will always be grateful for. That bit of oxygen that every runner needs when they hit the wall…
Through the years we worked on many more occasions. His attitude and personal approach that is also an ethos of his company and staff, made that connection very real.
Sometimes life is as simple and beautiful like that.
I hope that you will meet a beautiful soul on your path, as I was privileged to!
So long, MR Buff!
You were and still are a true inspiration!
I am sending my condolences and love to Paul’s wife Deborah, his family, and entire crew at PCB Inc.
