I met Paul in the early summer of 1981. It was about 6:00 PM. He was on his bulldozer digging out the front pond at his second build on 700W. He come off the dozer as I approached and extended his hand and said Hi, I’m Paul. I knew at that moment that he was a good man, a proud man and a confident man. I’ve loved him ever since. He’s done more for me than anyone I’ve ever known. He’s always been there no matter what and no matter what the circumstances. Thanks Paul.
Sorry to hear the passing of Paul he let me and Bruce hang out and help in the garage when we were kids . I know I learned a lot about auto repair and restore from him.what I liked the most was the fabrication he did and idea’s he would come up with.
Paul was a great guy and a wonderful role model for me.untill we meet again I will think of you often with a smile. Gene
