I first met Paul over 25 years ago at Copake. He drove into the swapmeet in a late 1960's Torino convertible! Unusual for swapmeet cruiser, right?
In 1999 Paul helped me learn how to use a PC and taught me HTML, how to list on eBay, in turn I helped him move from his home to another out of state. My computer background prior to was zero. I owe him a debt of gratitude.
We did a lot of deals back 'n forth over the years. Hung out on Saturday nights every year at Trexlertown with Sam and Mary.
Paul visited my home in NJ 3-4 times when he and his dog Stinky where on the road. What a nice dog up close and in person. From a distance not so much, very scary! LOL! We always had to make sure our cats were secure before Paul let her out of the van. Once outside, Stinky was very sweet with her tail always a - waggin'!.
Paul was ALWAYS there to answer any prewar or antiquue bike question I had. A true friend indeed!
I am Still in shock at the moment.
I am truly sorry to hear this....
Sincerely,
Joe
