Heard about Paul's passing today from Sam. My fondest memory was him on his minibike equipped with a Honda 305 engine with straight pipes. It always brought out the neighbors, and not all were happy about the noise. I remember Mr. Monday (sp?) came out into the street to confront him and did not realize that the bike basically had no brakes. His feet were promptly run over. I do remember all the inventions that came out of his garage, many of which had to do with fire or going very fast dangerously. Godspeed, Paul. All the best to the family.

It came to me as quite a shock to find that Our beloved "rock" has gone...I feel that as well as I knew him that he had built a Norton powered gokart that stuck floored. I hope he was smiling with his timid boyish grin that he always had when he knew he had created another work of genius...last I saw paul was out at the moffet airshow where he attempted to explain his ideas of a perpetual motion machine...this just after showing me the bike he had milled out of aluminum stock with car trunk gas shocks for suspension...he never stopped designing. Many awesome times throughout our lives at the alley making stuff creating projects, burning things, laughing, riding, packing at the dump or just native tire rubs....gods speed rock your nine lives are up
