I have been searching for Paul for a long time. Paul and I worked together at Southern Bell in the early 1970’s. We also shared an apartment. We partied a lot in those days. He had just purchased a really cool motorcycle, the tank was painted red, white, and blue like the chopper in Easy Rider movie. One night we had been drinking at the Par Tee lounge in Perrine Florida. The bars in those days closed at midnight, however the bars in Homestead Florida stayed open later. So, we decided to ride together on his bike to Homestead for that one more drink! On the way down there driving we hit a railroad crossing and lost control of the bike. We hit the ground really hard Paul only received a broken collar bone. I got a skull fracture, broken teeth and a lot of road rash including a huge gash in my knee cap. I spent a month in the hospital. While in the hospital Paul asked if he could borrow my 1964 corvette convertible to go a rock concert. I said yes, we were buddies, right? Upon coming home from the hospital, he told me the corvette got stuck in the mud at the concert and that he had burned out the clutch trying to get it unstuck. Crazy times for two young 20 something bachelors. I know he always felt remorseful for those events, but it helped build our character. I was surprised to see he was a Vietnam veteran, like so many veterans of that war we never talked about it. I also was a veteran but served in the Marines. He was a fun loving genuine one-of-a-kind man. My condolences to his family, I am sure God welcomed him home
