We have lost a great person and ambassador for our sport. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

For those of you who didn't know Paul, he was a great person and father whom left behind 4 young daughters. His greatest quality other than his love of his family was that he could see only the good in people.

Stretch, I hope they all pull like 10 lbers up there, and you let me jump your water when we meet again. Thank you for always believing in me, You are missed but will never be forgotten.

Rest in Peace friend,

Mike Tuck

wow... I had the pleasure of drawing Paul getting to know him in the process at a Shasta Pro/Am. What a character and such a positive person. We had the bites to win that day but they didn't want to comeback to the boat for whatever reason, you know how that is. Paul basically cracked jokes and goofed off the entire day which was a great way to spend the day.

I felt I had made a friend.. He will be missed.

God Speed my friend and my condolences to his family.. This is a tough time for all that knew him.
