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 ....

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.

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.

I met Paul several times at the "Gathering" and Bonneville, and cant express the sadness i feel right now for loosing such a nice friend, let me just say that the LUMP in my throat is big and wont go away for quoite a while.

Craig CT · 02-17-2011, 04:15 PM

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

Hotrodladycrusr · 02-17-2011, 04:22 PM

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.

Ken Crans · 02-17-2011, 04:21 PM

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

Lawson Cox · 02-17-2011, 04:25 PM

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

Flathead · 02-17-2011, 04:42 PM

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.

Ford46 · 02-17-2011, 04:47 PM

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.
