It was very shocking and sad to hear the news of Paul’s sudden passing .
Almost a neighbour from Neyland , just a short walk to Llanstadwell , he was one of the older lads but i do remember reports of him playing on the wing for the Youth . Then it was a salubrious house rental in the lovely Hounslow in our early 20s where Paul proved very supportive whilst I was on crutches . Paul made a sensibly quick escape to Newmarket and then Conwy . Over the years met up at Sarries , Bedford and Ealing where there was always smiles , laughter, good rugby chat . Then Japan for the RWC . And finally ,The Ferry Inn in Hazelbeach where he was down for the weekend as a Coach and Ref . Huge rugby commitment that weekend and it’s very sad that there won’t be another of these fun, interesting encounters .
From a distance a life well lived .
Rest in Peace Paul .
