Paul RUDDY

Thank you Paul

Paul's life sweetened and edified mine. His passing is a great loss. I was privileged to have known him.

"I guess it had to happen someday soon
Wasn't nothing to hold him down
He would rise from among us like a big balloon
Take the sky, forsake the ground

Oh yes, our hearts were broken
And I know our dreams ran dry
But our golden one sails on, sails on
To another land beneath another sky."

So glad I saw Paul in the pink last year.

My thoughts go to you Rick and his friends for whom he had so much time.

I will miss you.

Words are impossible to find that would express my gratitude for 32 years of friendship with both Paul and Rick. I am profoundly saddened and will miss beloved Paul for all my life. We shared so many hours, days, moments deep in discussion, adventure, books, music, movies and the mysteries. My deepest condolences to Rick, a most beautiful and wonderful life partner to Paul, as well as to all like myself with always remember adn cherish the gift of Paul's Life and Spirit.

The first time I met you was up the City Road. The last time I saw you was down the City Road. We had a coffee and you gave me wisdom on healing, light and love and a print of your last painting - a white dove flying out into the dark blue night -

It is a beautiful, as you were, and continue to be...

Thank you Paul for all you shared; for your generosity and your rebel sweet soul...

Each time I walk now, down the City Road, I shall stop by the cafe, and will see you, dressed in linen-white upon a summer's day....

St. Lawrence St, and Paul...

Dear Rick, My heartfelt and thoughtful condolences. I am counted among those enriched having known and loved Paul. He was indeed one of the Special Ones. I shall forever hold an image of Paul at his last Party... on his own, moving to the music of a sultry tune. He was one with the sounds. It was beautiful. I will be there Friday. Love, Jean
