    He was always full of beans. Could liven up a room. The office was always a place of laughter. He loved the rajput and his curry nights out. Natasha was his soulmate. RIP Paul.

      Natasha Dow It might comfort you to know that several times recently Paul said "I don't want to die but I'm ready to die, I have nothing left to resolve". He was an example of contentment.
