cant believe it. he was a member of a group i was invited to last summer. He was one on the nicest guys in the group. last i heard he went to arizona and broke down and was helped by many ford barn members. So sad. cp

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

This is indeed very sad news - a nicer man you could ever want to meet. He was true to his family, to his friends and to the hobby. Our condolences to his family and friends - he will be missed, there is no doubt about that. Rest in peace, Paul ....

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

I'm floored! I just got a PM from Paul Tuesday night in which he said, "I am still in AZ. Having a ball doing roadster things." My thoughts and prayers go out to Marge and family. We all just lost one super guy.

Wow, unreal. He truly was one the fixtures around here and a great guy. My prayers to his family in their time of loss.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

Met Paul a time or two at Bonneville and was looking forward to this year.
Never met a nicer guy!
This just floors me... :(
Godspeed, Paul.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

Nice, I think that could have been dealt with outside this thread!

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

... Couldn't agree more!!!!

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

Very sad, I live in CT and was hoping to meet Paul this spring or summer. My heart goes out to his family, Craig.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

What??? He was just on here a couple of weeks ago! Very sad. My prayers are out to the family. Ken

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

OMG, I was just hanging out with him and his wife in SoCal a couple of weeks ago. I'm shocked :(
My heartfelt condolences to his family and many legions of friends.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

I never met Paul, but I really enjoyed his posts and how he really enjoyed the hobby.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

I used to have a repair shop on Cape Cod, Paul would come by sometimes and we would talk old Fords. I had not seen him since I moved away, but followed him on the Barn. He was a great guy, and 100% a gentleman. I am truly saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences to his wife and family.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

I think the legacy Paul leaves is that of a good husband, father, grandfather and friend. I have yet to hear or meet a person who knew Paul that did not have only good things to say about him. He was a true gentleman, man how he loved his family, and his AV8 Roadster. I'm glad he was in Arizona and having a ball, able to drive his roadster with his wife. My thoughts and prayers to Marge and his family. LouB.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

I can,t believe it ,,I don,t want to believe it was looking forward to seeing him at the next old cars meeting . sent him a PM on here joking about his "long strange trip" when he broke down in Oklahoma .posted on here lookin for a tow company .next thing you know a fellow Barner offerd to take his car down ther for nothin ! this place IS like a family. EVERYONE alway helpin each other ,an offering free advice . He was one of the good guys. My thoughts an prays go out to the family let me be honored by closing with his sayin IF ITS TOO LOUD YOUR TOO OLD Rest in Peace Paul

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

Sad news...I just had a good conversation with Paul @ GNRS....A great guy....RIP Paul.....

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

This is indeed bad news.I always thought of him as a younger guy. Anybody know how old he was? my condolences to the family. ken ct + ma.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

I've been working in my shop all day, it's 5:15 pm. right now. I just had 2 calls out in my shop about Paul. I couldn't believe it. He just e-mail me a couple of days ago. He called me 2-3 time from AZ this winter. I had to come right in the house and check the barn. Paul was a very good friend, he would come up to Me. 3-4 time every summer. I feel so bad I'm fighting back tears and feel sick. I feel bad for Marge, they both were the best people you'll ever meet. RIP Walt

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

This is a REAL shock! We just exchanged emails 3 days ago discussing his "new" engine. I can't believe it. This is not only sad but stunning.

My strongest condolences to all who were close to Paul.

PS--If this is true, it is exactly the way I want to check out. Having maximum fun one day and gone the next.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

Never met in person, but exchanged PMs. What a nice guy. Prayers for his wife and family.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

Sorry to hear of this, sorry to his family.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

Truly shocking news. Just pulls the rug out from under you. The last few years, I have experienced the passing of several of my BEST friends. It hurts and leaves you numb.
God speed Paul.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

Wow! I met Paul this summer when he stopped by to pick up some shifter parts I had for his panel truck project. Neat guy! Living his dream. He was a big inspiration to me. Sad.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

I think it is safe to say that with the passing of Paul our hobby has lost one of its' quiet giants. God Speed, Paul.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

Paul was one of the coolest car guys I have met to date. I always enjoyed talking with he at the car show and on line. This is a said day in the hot rod world. I hope I can drive my ride half as much as he did his.
See Ya At The Car Show In The Sky RIP...

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

I said a little bit more on the HAMB, but the more I think about it the sadder it really gets...

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

I'd be honored if I could add my codolences here, for Paul's family, and for his fine friends.

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

Although I did not know him personally, he seemed like a nice guy to know. I'm sorry to hear of his passing so suddenly. I enjoyed reading his posts, as I do reading others here. It's like a close knit family here, and is so sad to lose a member of the family. I will say a prayer for his wife and all the members of his family. He will be missed!

Re: Sad News...AV8Paul
 

I'm truly saddened by that news. I was hoping to meet up with Paul on one of his trips to Bonneville. I'll never forget his picture posts on the salt flats in his nice roadster. Rest in peace AV8Paul. You will be missed by everyone.
