I am so sorry that I can not attend the services for Paul. I send my love and prayers to the family. We grew up together and had many, many, good times growing up in Bromley Heath. We were like family and I will miss him very much.

Uncle Paul to hundreds of teenagers and children. His opinion and understanding was sought by them all. He is truly a friend and uncle who will be missed. There is a hole in my heart.
