Paul and I were friends 50 years ago. Roommates in North Miami Beach eating Burger King every night, parking our motorcycles in our living room, pushing his VW to get it started and living at the beach. He was a great friend and we had lots of good times in Miami, And at our place The Pit off A1A in Fort Lauderdale and in Massapequa. I regret I never got to reconnect with Paul but it sounds like we both wound up with great families and happy lives. Everyone who knew Paul at sometime in their life has fond memories to share.
