I can just second what Killergorilla said. I'm really impressed by what Paul did and achieved. Although his passing still makes me sad, the message definately makes me feel better, hearing that he was happy person. Thanks alot for posting bippym.

I only knew him through this forum but i never thought he might have a disease (if thats the right word). He seemed really "normal" to me and much more important, really capable in what he was doing.
Thank you for this post about him. |

And none of us had the slightest idea about it, had he? But well ... it probably was the best thing that could be done, because everybody has solely witnessed Paul's human "soft-skills" (such as empathy) instead of witnessing his physical presence and maybe become biased afterwards. BTW...can't we say Paul was lucky despite his disability? Supposed all this happened 30 years ago, NO PERSONAL COMPUTERS and probably hardly any way to make something useful out of his life. Now we have the Internet, and despite his physical disabilities, he was able to be creative by creating web sites!! And he probably did this miles better than others who would never be able to craft a decent layout! Until the early 1990s, web sites did not exist! So he can be lucky to have lived in the proper epoch, can't he? Last edited by andreas; 12 June 2007 at 12:47. |

I was shocked to hear of Paul's death. I only ever knew him from his posts here, but you could tell he was a nice guy. After hearing of his death, I experienced a deep sense of loss that I've rarely felt.
What a strange time we live in. You can develop an attachment to a person you've never met on the other side of the world. |

Everyone here who chatted with Paul knew he was a huge step above the ordinary. Truly, Paul is an amazing person. And it is rare that someone so far away could make me feel warm and sense his kindness and sweet disposition. I think of Paul often. Though I can't really see him as a meanie (Ramses) :O

It is always...
...a sad ocassion to hear that someone you know, even slightly, passed away. But in this case it is even sadder because he is a valuable member of the Amiga community. You will be missed. |

Ditto Fred & KG's postings & reaffirming what had been said earlier on. As a newbie to the board eons ago Paul was certainly amongst the top guys here for his knowledge on the Amiga & helpfulness-& always counted on for a topical avatar of the day depending on forum topics/in-jokes going around at the time. |

Hey - just saw it today - been busy rippin for misc mod archives (AMP YEAH! ) no.. it's so shit when some of US passes away. I don't now how to relief the pain from those left behind other than say the spirit of the Amiga Community is still here! Our new goal is to KEEP our legacy alive and collect all we can from the "golden days" into one archive "scene.org" is NOT the one... no movement is going on. = the idea is good but.... AMP is good for the music's but please what about the rest!! ???? & before everbody leaves us - think about it - Amiga was our identity .... Django

I only knew Paul for a short time before he died. I had read his contributions, but it wasn't until later when he edited a few pages on my wiki, that i had any personal contact with him. And, i am sure you will all agree, despite paul's disability, he contributed a lot to the forum, and to the Amiga "scene"..He will be remembered and missed.
