I had the pleasure of getting to know Paul through his wonderful daughter Amy. He welcomed me into his family as a son and even started to watch the game of rugby to learn the rules so that he could share my passion. He was, without doubt one of the most friendliest and motivated men I've ever met who loved a jobs list, loved to get the jobs done, and loved getting home by 3pm to get the cars up. Over the years, I've been lucky enough to be the go-for as he used his amazing carpentry skills to construct garden seats, waldrobes, fences, gates, a roof, floors...the list is endless what that man could do - all at 100mph. Above all Paul loved his family dearly and was the rock on which everything was built. He could always be called upon, come rain or shine and was always there for us, no matter what. He is being and will be forever missed. Sleep tight Captain xx

I first met Paul on a construction site I was running during the 80's. During my long career he was one of the best carpenters I have ever worked with. He was one of the nicest blokes I have known as well as a good friend, he helped me through some difficult times. You will be sadly missed. Thanks for some good memorable times Paul. Danny (B).

Dear Paul, how lucky we were to have had you as such a wonderful neighbour and great friend for so long! Always cheerful, endlessly willing to lend a hand & to share your enthusiasm for motorcycles with an “old timer” biker. Will miss you & thanks to you and Sue for everything. X
