I did not know Paul, as I don't know any of you on this board. I've just finished reading through this post and a tear came to my eye. Actually, I'm fighting back more only because I'm at work. I just think of my two little daughters, my wife and other family members and friends and thank God I've got them.....for now.
It amazes me that hanging around this board not knowing you as individuals, I can feel the pain and, in other circumstances, joy of other people (you people) on this board. I guess that makes us friends. I'll consider it like that anyway.
RIP Paul.........
