Deb Sponagle -Taylor
Yvonne, Maria,Julie ,Joanne and all of Paul’s family and friend’s,
This news came as a shock, my heart goes out to you all at this very hard time. I had the privilege of growing up with Paul ,kid’s from the same neighborhood. And was blessed to have shared a beer with him just last Summer. A chance meeting I will never forget. We laughed and talked like we hadn’t in so many years because of life sending us in different directions. Paul was a gem, quick to laugh,I see that smile as I write.
I prey in time with help and strength from family and friend’s that your hearts will seal in the joy that this wonderful Person gave you and that a smile may again be on your faces when you remember the great years you had together. Easy to say now, but with help from love ones you again will feel his presence because of your Love.
God Bless and keep you strong,
Biggest hugs
Deb
Rhonda Fralic-Fanning

kathryn killam
Dear Yvonne and family,
I was so very sorry to hear this news. The last time I saw Paul was at Privateer Days, as we stood in front of the stage, in the big tent. As always when we did run into one another, Paul talked about ‘back in the days’ and when i decided to set up this Still Crazy Reunion of old bands and old friends, it was with people like Paul in mind. He would have loved this get together and it saddens me deeply that of all people, he won’t be there. Everyone is shocked and we will pay tribute to him. Wishing you strength and peace. All the best, Kathryn Killam
