I still miss my best friend every day. I've never met anyone like you, and you were definitely one of a kind. My love to you always...

Paul was the kindest person I've ever known, with more integrity in his little finger than most people have in their entire being. Losing my best friend has been the worst shock of my life, but I know Paul will live on through all the wonderful memories his many friends will always have of him. Mr. Music Man, you will be missed more than you could have ever imagined!

Such a shock ... Paul was gentle, kind, thoughtful - and fun!! His spirit is certainly being rewarded. I always did treasure them, but NOW, I will treasure the cool Christmas CD's he gifted to me even MORE. I think he was the only other person I knew who liked Christmas pop music as much as I did. Smiles to you ... Peace always...

We'll miss you Paul, you were a great friend. I hope you are in some alternate universe, serving as the music archivist for a civilization, searching out, cataloging and sharing music to everyone.
