Paul , you were one cool dude , I met Skip first, but he invited me over , (1978) I was 16 hanging out at the Shop & Go on the corner of 28th Avenue, you were living with Betsy , who made the hammocks , and I remember Frank , he passed away at the age of 36-38 ?
I met your friends, like that couple Rick & Debbie , the red headed dude with a beard , that dude was cool , Shane and his sister Molly ...... lol
The best hash from Shane the best 714s from Molly . And Oh ! That hash oil from Shane 1980-81 , and all the parties you had had at your house, Those were the best days of my life I grow my own these days.

RIP Paulie, thank you for helping my brother REALLY learn to sail!

Paul was a gifted man who had alot of boat skills. I met Paul in Pass-a-Grill at the boat repair business he ran several years ago. Paul had alot of friends who I had the pleasure of meeting. Those days (& nights) of talking about family and boats were key to his eclectic personality. I will forever remember Paul and the friendship we had.
