I met Paul for the first time this past August at Carlisle the love and passion he has for the car we all love really made a lasting impression, glad I got to meet and talk with him. Very sad to hear.

I first met Paul at the drag racing event the end of 2011. He wanted to caravan up, so I met him in Leesburg with a few other folks to head up there. He was a real friendly guy, and he talked about his car (which was a bit rough from the previous owner) and the things he wanted to do to fix it back up. He also was a regular fixture at the WMD's, either with some job he wanted to tackle on his car, or just helping out with the other folks who needed something fixed.

I'm sorry to hear that he won't be able to finish his project. Frankly, it's a bit shocking to hear this news. He was reasonably young and seemed to be in fine health.

Here's Paul at that drag racing event, he is next to Jim:

I'm sorry I won't get a chance to get to know him better, he seemed to be a genuinely nice guy.

Bob, thanks for the picture. I knew I had met Paul but was having trouble remembering when. He was at Jim's helping out when WAZOO pulled my transmission and among other things, replaced my flywheel. Very nice guy. I'm deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of such a young man. Godspeed Paul.
