Remembering great times of our friendship today Paul, as I do so many days throughout the year. It's been 13 years since you left us, but you are no further from my heart than when you were here.

Daddy, as the anniversary of the day we lost you on this earth draws near, I reflect on how present you are in our lives each and every day. Your love, generosity and kindness; your passion for creativity, learning and goodness; your clever, witty and knowing soul. We love you as much today as ever. You are with us and we are with you always. Forever your girl, Juliet

Thinking of you Paul on your Birthday, and all our fun summer trips to Montreal for the Formula 1 Grand Prix - unforgettable! Just listened to a "new" vinyl recording last night with Jen - Take Ten, what a fabulous album! I think you enjoyed it as well.

Hi Paul, 'remembering you on this day as throughout the year. I'm assuming you've been smiling down a lot recently as i've upgraded my stereo system and finally bought a good turn-table! Now purchasing some very good remastered jazz vinyl and really enjoying it. Ralf is a bit ahead of me on this, and we've been sharing recommendations and our reviews. You always come up in our conversations, and whenever I listen to my new recordings. Such a great gift you've passed on to Ralf and me! ...

Daddy, as we head into this Thanksgiving week, I am thinking of you with my full heart. Yesterday marked 11 years since I saw you on this earth. We chatted, we laughed, we hugged a meaningful hug. It was hard to say goodbye to you that day even not knowing it would be our last. I am so grateful for who you were in this life. You were a true light. You taught me so much about unconditional love, true acceptance and taking joy in all the splendor we are gifted. I miss you so much - we all do....

Paul - 'will celebrating our memories this weekend by listening to Blue Train and Kinda Blue albums without interruption and a glass (or two) of fine Kentucky Bourbon. Thank you for all the great times and inspiration! Your friend always, Greg

Daddy, Yesterday, as I pulled up to my home in my car, my heart filled as it often does with love for you. The feeling reminded me it was the day, that 10 years prior, we lost you from our earthly lives. Instead of sadness, I felt joy that I could still feel you - no less than ever. I am so grateful for your spirit and that you stay with me no matter what. I know in a way I can´t explain, we will return to each other. Love you, Daddy.

Cannot believe it's been 10 years my friend. I've carried you with me for all of them, and always will. I miss you.

Thinking of you on your birthday Paul. Dang- we shared a lot of great times together! 'miss you as always. Your friend, Greg
