Paul you were a total dude. You were 18 when we met, I was 17 and you just stole my heart in that first meeting. Bright, kind to a stranger, eloquent we shared a way of seeing the world, a sense of justice burning into our youth. I'm so glad I met you, I've never forgotten the times we hung out. Rest well my friend.

Hey Baldy, Paul, Paul, you fought to the very end, living life to the fullest, uncovering fossils, cracking rocks and being the butt of many bad bald jokes from me and Mike! Teaching us history, photography and life through your experience and wisdom. Keep smiling bald guy, give Mike a hug from us. I'm sorry you knew and understood my chronic fatigue syndrome so much. Lisa and Dan. And yip, I still have Sheepy. Pic is from 30/09/2017 at our wedding. Look how well you scrub up Paul!
