We present here the life and the work of Paul A. Castelfranco (1921-2021), a very special person who was not only a top chemist of chlorophyll biosynthesis, but also made major contributions on fatty acid oxidation, acetate metabolism and cellular organization. He led an extraordinary and exemplary life as a human being. We present here both his personal life as well as his scientific life, which is followed by reminiscences by William Breidenbach, Kevin Smith, Alan Stemler, Ann Castelfranco, and John Castelfranco. As the subtitle of this Tribute implies, till the end Paul was a scientist par excellence, an intellectual with unlimited curiosity, a humanist, and a man of enduring religious faith. We all miss him dearly.
在此，我们介绍保罗·A·卡斯泰尔弗兰科（1921 - 2021）的生平与工作。他是一位非常特别的人物，不仅是叶绿素生物合成领域的顶尖化学家，还在脂肪酸氧化、乙酸代谢和细胞组织方面做出了重大贡献。作为一个人，他过着非凡且堪称楷模的生活。我们在此呈现他的个人生活以及科学人生，随后是威廉·布雷登巴赫、凯文·史密斯、艾伦·斯泰姆勒、安·卡斯泰尔弗兰科和约翰·卡斯泰尔弗兰科的回忆。正如这份致敬的副标题所暗示的，直到最后，保罗都是一位卓越的科学家、一位有着无限好奇心的知识分子、一位人文主义者，以及一位有着坚定宗教信仰的人。我们都深切地怀念他。
