    That's a shame. I met him at the Alterboy's show this year. He and his wife introduced themselves when they saw my HAMB shirt. Really friendly guy. I loved reading his stuff on here. I just saw a picture of his car in a book at my school library of all places. RIP.

    I met Paul at the Rolling Bones Garage Nite last year when we were finishing up my 3w Coupe. What a great, low key, genuine guy. He was your friend from the moment you made the HotRod connection with him. Hope you are cruisin' in a great Roadster on the Bigger Salt Flats now!!!!!

    A great loss to the HAMB community. I always read and enjoyed his posts and studied the photos he posted of his projects.

    R.I.P Paul. I always enjoyed his posts and his roadster adventures. He will be missed here on the hamb.

    My condolences.

    I met Paul a few years back on my first trek to bonneville when he was with the rolling bones. I thought a lot of him as he didn't mind taking some time to talk hot rods to novice a young kid at that point. Thanks Paul.

    I had talked with him by phone when his roadster was broken down here in Okla.
    I met Paul in person at the Scottsdale GG show. What a prince of a guy.
    His daughter called me just this morning and told me of his passing. I only knew him for a short time, but what a great person he was.

    I think my buddy Chris summed it up when he said Paul inspired people without trying. He was the real deal, generous and honest. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and when I drive my roadster to Bonneville the trip will be in memory of Paul, an honest and solid dude. He will be missed by myself and the rest of the Alter Boys. God speed bro.
