    What a loss of a stellar man. Paul was always the first to get up and offer assistance whether he was asked to or not. He always had time to stop for a chat and ask how everyone was or if meeting on the road he had a wave and a smile. I am sure going to miss our little adventures. He will be remembered by so many as a great, caring guy with a huge heart. I’m proud to be able to say we were friends. RIP Panda
