Known the Rockdawg since the Bobs-be-bob days. No one knew "the music world's better. Rock on Paul. kr

Paul was a friendly neighbor of ours for many, many years. He and my husband spent many hours in the yard talking and solving the problems of the world. He will be deeply missed.

October 28, 2025, truly the day the music died. I don't have any words right now, but I know Paul is talking with Jimi Hendrix and Keith Moon right now.

He would drive a hour to pick me up to go to dinners, we went to concerts he was a true gentleman. Lots of memories..

I will certainly miss Paul; our talks of music, attendance at concerts, listening to him on the radio, and tacos at Hooeys!
Paul and I have known each other since 1970. Rest easy Rawkdog, and say hello to everyone we know!
