I am always sorry to hear that someone has passed away from this world.
I hope, he now gets the kind of afterlive he would have liked to stay in.

I've just heard the shocking news, it's terrible. We only knew each other by email, but I will miss him.
My greatest condolences to his family and friends.

This sucks, I just got back from a week-end excursion to find this terrible news. All the best to his family, I really enjoyed what Paul had to say on this forum as a moderator and a member.
I'll miss his posts, and his personality greatly.

Like most people on RAT I have never met Paul. Paul and I did exchange a number of e-mails, and he was most thoughtful in sending me things of interest. He was a gentleman and scholar in every sense of the word.
His passing was most unfortunate. More than most, he left the world a better place for his efforts, and he did enjoy doing so.
With great regrets,
Ralph Izard

We all at Athenea Promakhos are deeply sorrow for this terrible loss.
We had the luck of forming with him at the phalanx when he came to Spain to join us at Tarraco Viva.
Although he only spent a couple of days by us we where impressed by his vast knowledge, desire to of helping us and goodmanhood, we are very impressed.
Paul, for sure well meet again, taking the spear embracing the shield and forming in the phalanxs.

Been out of the loop and only just heard about Paul's tragic accident.
I met paul years ago and recently renewed our aquaintance through the Vicus. A fine, honourable man and the world is demiished by his passing.
My thoughts go out to his family and will raise a glass to him at the weekend with others who knew him.
May he rest in peace.
