“All I know is that Paul was a kind, loving man, always the life and soul of any party, and believe me we did see quite a few of those in the early years, But he was always the sensible one as well, and kept us in line and saw us and the love of his life Caroline safely home from the George & Dragon on many occasion. I will never forget you my old mate.”

“Paul was a hard-working, intelligent, caring and very thoughtful person. He was very close to his friends and family and had a lot of people who cared dearly about him. It isn’t possible to put into words the importance of friendship and how much Paul meant to me. He influenced on my life in many ways and I will miss him greatly. Paul, thank you for your friendship, I miss you. RIP”

“Paul certainly was a natural engineer, like his Dad I suppose, and always tinkering with cars. He certainly impressed us the day he turned up at school in a (very old) Jaguar!!”

“Paul was someone that you would want on your team. He brought a quirky sense of humour and an open friendliness that welcomed newcomers and made them feel at home. He was relaxed and without ego, he discussed complex technical problems in the same way as he talked about golf or his latest travels.”

“Paul was an engineer in the truest sense of the word and while he may not have been a wealthy man; a good name is better than wealth and wisdom, greater than the finest jewels. In the short time I knew him, he has left me with many treasures. Thank you, dear friend, for your time knowledge and care. You’ve taught me so much and I will never forget you.”
