That is very sad news.
After he bought one of my Rob Allen's a few years ago, we bantered back & forth, waxing eloquent on the virtues of Belgian bier - especially the oldest variant, lambic (Paul's family has some history as lambic brewers - & the term lambic is a variant of alembic how strangely appropriate a connection).

I have the Jefferson Campervan in storage in Amsterdam & had intended to drop in on Paul to share a lambic this July when I do a solo trip (sans wife & dog). I passed close to his home twice in the last year, and am now very sad that I didn't visit earlier, thinking there would always be a better time...

When the bottles are a-clanging, and there's one more after all have stopped, we'll know who has joined in for a cold one. Godspeed Paul!

I am very sad to hear this news. Paul's spirit and sense of humor is so much part of the fabric of this little community. Peace & Love.

Is there any way to get messages to him or his family? I hope he and they all know how much love there is for him here and, I would imagine, everywhere!

In another day or two, allowing a little time for more of our friends to check in here, I plan to send the link for this thread to either the daughter I know, or a close mutual friend who is visiting Paul frequently. I'm not quite sure how, but I am confident they will do their best to convey our thoughts and compassion, to Paul, and his family.

For anyone who is especially close to Paul and suddenly finds themself without a way to get in touch, send me an email (preferably including your phone number). I don't particularly want to act as a filter, but as you all clearly appreciate, this is pretty overwhelming as it is, and in any case I certainly can't publish contact information here.

Although that most of us only know each other through this site only we are connected in a very special way.
And now we are going to lose one of our connections and it saddens me deeply.
My utmost sympathies to Pauls family.

What a sad, sad fate. This is such disheartening news. Paul will be in my thoughts.

Im so sad to hear about Pauls illness - my thoughts and prayers go out to him and his loved ones!

Have faith Paul - death is the greatest lie we are taught in the western world.

Bob, thanks for sharing this. I'm speechless. Paul and I have had several phone conversations and emails. He's a great guy and a good friend. I'll be banging my bottle in your name Brother!

Bob,

I am devestated, to say the least, to hear this about such an icon to this club. Our prayers go out to Paul and his family. I'm glad I had the chance to meet Paul at the gathering last March, the humor and joy he brings to his postings is but a small part of what he is like in person.

Paul's posts about the stockings are what I remember most about this place after I had just joined.

It's just not right....
