I knew Paul via living in Elwood, seeing him in the surf shop I worked in, at his cafe at the beach and otherwise hanging out in our home suburb. Much loved and much missed.

I honestly wish I knew you personally, as we'd have the most interesting conversations. I, too, am a lover of music, movies, and the obscure. Thanks for your posts; they're insightful on the serious aspect of life, as well as fun on the obscure. Take care, my friend!

Thanks Pete. A reminder that no matter what, at our deepest blues, we aren’t alone. No matter what, we mean something to someone. Even when we feel alone.

I used to listen to an afternoon radio show (“Martin/Molloy”) that he was a frequent guest on. He was very funny.
