To Paul's family

My late father (Gordie Williams) was a friend of Paul's and also, Gerry and Leo, if I remember correctly. I knew and admired Paul and bumped into him many times over the years - the last being probably over twenty years ago. I am very sorry to learn of his passing and offer my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. He was certainly a good man and will be missed.
