Sorry if this is the wrong section....

Paul was our pres for 14 yrs till Jan 12.. He was fighting the dreaded cancer and very sadly lost that fight today 6pm UK time ..

It was a Tough call to take i knew he was unwell and fighting but was not expecting so soon...

Paul was without doubt a great/Fantastic friend Petrol head and family man...
From his charity work to running the VCA UK for so many years..

Paul opened so many doors and made some truly great friendships happen...

Paul ... Thanks for the GREAT TIMES together one which will always stick in my mind was spending the day with you working on the GT2.

A HUGE loss at a young age of 59..

RIP MATE

Very sad to learn. Paul watched over the UK Region for many years. He will be missed.

RIP Paul. Far too young.

This nonsense with that "word" is long out of hand. I am getting very tired of it. Billions of dollars funneled into an endless abyss and seemingly no progress, and rather than a cure... it becomes commonplace.

Didn't know Paul. But he sounds as if he was an awesome guy and will be sorely missed and difficult to replace.
Very sorry to hear of his passing.
RIP Paul.

I met Paul over ten years ago and we became good friends over the years. In 2005 Paul & Barbara came to one of my BBQ and I've been to many of the UK VCA events. He was a pillar in the Viper Club community running and organizing the UK Region for 14 years!

Paul you will be missed, rest in peace my friend!

Couldn't have said it better! My condolences to Pauls family, my mother lost a sister to the crap so I can somewhat relate :(

I met Paul and Barb several times over the last decade.
We met at the Hockenheimring for the Jim Clark Revival too. Unfortunately, not this year, because I was in NY for the autohow.

Paul, we will miss you!
Rest in peace my friend.

This is un believe able news, I saw his recent posts but it seems that he would still have some time, a lot of time.

This is a great loss,

Rest in Peace Paul!

I got a chance to meet Paul in 2008 when I was in the UK, still remember that day, being introduced to Paul, he was a gentleman and sorry to hear about this unfortunate news. I can only offer my sincere condolences to his family, friends and RIP Paul. Just a nice car guy and surely much more to others. My wife dealt with cancer 17 years ago, surgery, non-hodgkins lymphoma, chemo, etc.. and is doing well (knock, knock on wood) today, it's something that has an impact on many who don't deserve it.

Take care,
Mike
