Not sure what to say?

Still missing you bro'. Thought I might be joining you this year but I'm hanging here a little longer. I wish you could give me the DIY tips I regularly need from the great beyond.

Paul, love and miss you even though we are eternally connected by the stirrings of ancestral golden musical strings reverberating in my heart xxx

Another year goes by and there still isn't a week that passes when I don't think of Paul.

I met Paul when I was at Tapton School in Sheffield. He was a friend and musical mentor. He was a great Guitarist and introduced me to many great musicians and bands such as Return to Forever, Check Corea, Stanley Clarke, Al DiMeola, Jeff Beck. Etc. Etc.
Paul played in a Band with me in the early Eighties.
So sad to hear of his passing and my love to all his friends and Family.

I am so sorry to hear of Paul's passing.
Paul and I were friends in the late 70s and early 80s and, sadly, lost contact after I moved away from Sheffield.
He had a certain charisma and great sense of humour. One of those people who you never forget.
I saw Paul's obituary when I was looking for old friends who I would have liked to meet up with again.
My thoughts and best wishes are with all Paul's family and friends.

I remember so many happy weekends staying at your Moms house in Upperthorpe when we would stop up all night working out Hendrix, Santana and Floyd numbers on our guitars.
You taught me how to play "Wish You Were Here" one afternoon, that seems very poignant now.
You were a good friend to me.
Happy Days all of them.
So long Paul, rest peacefully.

So sorry for your loss, Lori. Prayers to you and your family

Paul was smart, talented and funny. I loved him dearly and will miss him sorely.

Will be with all you family and friends, candle burning for love, light and blessings from across the Atlantic. Love from Jeanne xxx
