I first met you Paul, in Sydney in Defence. I knew then what Gregry had know for some time, the quality of your person. There was never any doubt. My loss is insignificant to your family's. God's speed, Paul.

Paul you were truly a genuine and talented person. I am saddened to look for you only to find you are gone... I have many fond memories of you and your terrific family... God bless. Mark Phillips (Virginia USA)

Still missing you every minute of every day. Life is not really living since you've been gone. Our Officer, Our Gentleman, we love you and will forever continue to watch for you in the falling stars x

Sincere condolences from the Staff and Cadets of Training Ship Sirius. We only had the pleasure of a brief relationship with Paul, but it was clear to us all that he was a caring and gentle soul who had achieved much in his short life. His positive demeanour and enthusiastic leadership style enhanced the lives of all those who had the privilege of his company. Fair Winds and a Following Sea
