Thomas Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 With the message from Paul's sister, it felt like a respectful time to close the other thread. We watched his struggle from afar, and that was largely the content of that thread. Let's make this one about remembering him, or expressing our sorrows and condolences. We'll keep it open for as long as it seems appropriate. Quote Link to comment
Guest 510kamikazifreak Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 May you rest in peace Paul, May your love for your family and friends and your Datsuns , Be with all for Eternity. Farewell my fellow Datsun friend. Lou Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I got the chance to meet paul.Once he came over and took a load of datto parts off my hands.The kicker there was that he had to take like 12 tires too.We blabbered on about dattos for about an hour.The other occasion was at Teds house at the first POTD.His 521 had an unexpected tranny failure so he had to get a tow dolly to get it to Teds.We all went on for hours that day.I liked Paul alot.Not that many of you here are not great people but Paul had a way about him that any one would like.He seemed to be a generally happy person with much love for his family and like most of us,very passionate about Datsuns.Rest in peace.

mklotz70 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 That's actually TerriLynn on the left pointing and Paul is in the one in grey, untucked shirt with his back to us. I've got some pics from that bbq too. I'm glad Thomas started this thread and linked them to each other. Along with the condolences, I think this would be a good place for pics, memories, stories of the Paul we knew. He was certainly had a way about him that made him easy to talk to. TerriLynn is the same way. It's too bad they never made it to a Canby event. We'll have to figure out a way to get one or two of his boys down to it...and/or Blue Lake this year.

RacnJsn95 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I never knew Paul, but from what I've read he seemed like a genuinely good guy... Sound like he went the way he wanted to go. Rest in peace Datsun Friend! Quote Link to comment

Hopefully, I can get them to his sons. Quote Link to comment
NSRz32 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 God be with his family. Truly sad to lose what was obviously a great guy and fellow enthusiast. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 When I went and visited him in the hospital.. very, very sad... :( Not that we didn't make the best of it though :D Quote Link to comment
pope_face Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Wow, this was unexpected... I remember the thread about him in the hospital, but I didn't know it was that serious. Kinda puts things in perspective. I always like to think that people are happier after they die... in some sort of better place. Quote Link to comment
irsa76 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 This is the thread I was hoping would never come, but knew it would. I never met Paul in person, but like everyone here I thought of him as a mate. I may be Dattoless, but I'm richer for knowing Paul even for a short time. Quote Link to comment
imramos01 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I went to Pauls house to buy the fuse box for my 521. He showed me his 521.He laughed as he pointed to the back bumpers which he had to paint it PURPLE because he had lost a bet to a family member. And 2-320s that he was to rebuild for his son. He was really a true "Datsuneer". I had a great time talking with him. "Rest In Peace". My prayers to the family as well.John Quote Link to comment
