    The news of Paul's passing was an unreal shock. I just saw him for the first time in a long time back in July. Paul was always the life of the party and was to me that guy in the room that was going to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. He was a friend you just hadn't met yet. You will be missed my friend. See you on the other side brother.

    Paul will always have a special place in my heart. From jumping in a freezing pool during Thanksgiving in Texas to playing Aggravation. Paul made every experience with him a great time. I will miss his infectious smile and amazing mustache. His presence will be greatly missed. Love you Uncle Paul.

    Paul was such a great friend to me and I will always remember his incredible energy and love for life. Some of the best times of my life were shared with paul. He had a special way with people and connected with positivity with everyone around him. I will always be thinking of Paul and believe this world is a little less special without his presence. Love you Paul Fortey.
