I am exceptionally proud to call Paul my uncle, he was an amazing man, an inspiration to all that knew & loved him. The most genuine person who had time for everyone, who was so warm, honest & sincere. I remember him with fondness for his enthusiasm for life. Always had a story/experience to tell you about, truly a fascinating & brave man...we miss him lots x

Paul, what a man. Paul what a teammate. To me he was always one of the nicest person you will ever met. I only heard yesterday that Paul was dead. Life can be really, really, unfair. I did not know him for that long, but long enough to see what a fighter he was.

I knew Paul and his family for many years,but i think we became very close during Paul`s illness.
I helped him to travel to work at land Rover Gaydon right up until a few days before he died,I know Paul wanted to work for as long as he could to support Janet and his Boys.I will always remember the courage with which he confronted his illness .
I think of Paul everytime i see someone on a bicycle,He was the ultimate cyclist and it was a pleasure to have known him.
