I worked with Paul for a number of years when we ere both with the UK distributor of Volvo Construction Machines. He represented the company in the north of England and I worked at the head office in the south-east, but I visited him on regular occasions and he was always extremely hospitable at his home, where he had a model railway layout in the garden. Paul had an irrepressible sense of humour, and any meeting that he attended always included a great deal of laughter. Many thanks for all the fun, Paul!

Paul was a solid and guiding member of the Charlot Harbor Writers and the Tuesday Writers Tea. With numerous books to his name, his readings at writer's meetings were well received. He always included some wry form of humor, and enjoyed entertaining his audience. He will be missed among local writer's groups. Sincere sympathy to Paul's wife and extended family. Alan Hodgson and Brenda.

I was so saddened to read about Paul in the newspaper today. I was in his writer's group and enjoyed his stories he shared from his books so much. He was so nice, such a good writer, fun, and wonderful at leading our group. I will miss him terribly when we get to start meeting again. I did not know him well because our encounters were only at the meetings so I really enjoyed reading about all of his accomplishments in the paper. Please accept my sincere condolences and know that he was a blessing and an inspiration to all of us in the group.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
