It is with the greatest sadness I have to report dear Paul has attended his final Passing Out Parade. Today I received this email from his step-son Pete ...........
Hello,
I am so sorry to inform you that Paul lost his battle with Leaukemia @ 2.50am this morning at Stoke Mandeville
Hospital. It was very quick & Mum & the family were by his side to say our goodbyes.
Thank you to all of you for the love, care & friendship you have shown to Paul, mum & the family through what
has been a very tough time. As soon as we know the funeral arrangements, we will let you know.
With love,
Pete
Pauls step son

I do know most of us will be greatly saddened by this news - not only was Paul an Arborfield Old Boy, but he was very active member, never missing a reunion.
I emailed Pete back and recieved this reply ...........

Hi David,
thanks for your kind words - the reunion was the highlight of his year & though most of the family never met any of you,
he told us all the stories & bought the w/e's to life. Thanks on behalf of the family for all that you & the guys did with &
for him - you were clearly all great mates.
I'll pass on your comments & perhaps hopefully get to shake your hand at the funeral.
Warmest regards,
Pete.
