This is Gina, Paul's wife.
Thank you all for your kind words. Paul was a wonderful husband and person. He had many friends here and I often wondered about how I could let you know of his passing. I think that I had tried to login some time ago, but must have done something wrong as I was not able to gain access. I keep his computer current as at the very least, it gives me another computer if I have any problems with mine.
When I saw the birthday email yesterday I decided to try again to see if I could notify you. This time I succeeded and saw the PM from icehog3 and so wrote to him.
I remember too Paul talking years ago about 'masshole thread'
Vin, I remember him going to your house to get together a couple times. I did think of you and wanted to reach out to you to let you know, but tho I thought that I had your address, I could not find it. I'm sure I do have it as Paul had given me the info of where he was going - but I guess I misplaced it. I'm a saver and it would not surprise me if I came across it again someday.
I see that you did find his obituary, but I will tell you that he was cremated and, well, he remains here at home.
I'm glad that I could finally provide closure to his friends here.
Thanks again, Gina

Thanks for the update, Gina; my belated condolences on your loss. The old Herf crew has drifted apart over the years but at heart, we remain brothers.
Will smoke something in Paul's honor this weekend

Absolutely.
Thank you so much, Gina, foir reaching out to me and to us, even though the news was sad. I often wondered where Paul had been, but now I figure he is smoking a cigar in Heaven, looking down on his loved ones and smiling.

Thank you so much for letting us know Gina. As Vin said we aren't as in touch as we might have once been with each other, we remain close in spirit.
