Shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Paul. I first met him while as a guest, helping the Para Band record Everyman An Emperor. He was the constant professional as you would expect, but Paul made everyone feel welcome and over the coming days I grew to having a lot of respect and admiration for him. 

Over the years our paths crossed many times, whether it was AT, musically, or when he was the QM at Kneller Hall. I always made a b-line for his office when visiting KH for a catch-up.

When he left the army I accidentally called him ‘Sir’, which he hated as a civi and pulled me up for, but to me he will always be ‘Sir’.

He was such a warm, kind hearted man and there will be never be another like him. Paul always made time for others and will be sorely missed by all. My condolences to all his family.
