So sorry to hear of your loss Suzanne. I didn't know Paul, but he was a frequent poster here. Take things one day at a time. We are all here for you.

If you have any photos I would love to see them as well. I am going to collect all the remembrances for a memory book. Since Friday the outpouring of love and support has been amazing, and I thank you all.

It is much consolation to the family that he passed peacefully and was spared dealing with the end stages of the disease. On the other hand, it was still a shock to us. He had been fairly stable until Monday, and then suddenly went downhill fast. He and I appreciated the friendships we formed with you in the geyser basins, and I will always treasure the memories. We have a vacation in Yellowstone planned for July 20-28, and I am hoping we can have a memorial get together in remembrance of Paul for friends that are there. Something upbeat to remember all the good times we had. And I do also hope to be there for Labor Day weekend to raise a glass for Paul at the wine and cheese party. I hope he is looking down on us all to witness many eruptions of Morning, Giant, Fan and Mortar, Splendid, Steamboat, Grand... and many, many more.
