Paul died Feb. 4, 2013, in Baltimore, Md.
After graduating from Gilman School, Paul was accepted at Princeton but joined the Marine V-12 unit in Princeton on July 1, 1943. Paul served his freshman year in Princeton but was later transferred to Cornell.
Next came Parris Island, S.C.; New River, N.C.; and Quantico, Va. He was sent overseas and spent a year on Oahu. Discharged in July 1946, he promptly sought readmission to Princeton that autumn. While at college he majored in economics and graduated in 1948.
After working for Vick Chemical and General Foods, Paul sought out a second career in medicine. Because he needed additional credits he attended Loyola University in Baltimore, but was subsequently admitted to the University of Maryland and graduated in 1955. He interned at the University Hospital in Baltimore and then had a five-year residency in neurological surgery. Paul entered private practice in 1961 and remained in practice until his retirement in 1981.
Since 1981 Paul had worked in venture capital and private-investment banking. He is survived by his sister, Carroll H. Swarm; brother-in-law, John L. Swarm; and niece, Elizabeth S. Cook.
