"I daddy, It is me Safina your daughter by marriage I hope you remember me and I wish you were still with us I love you so so so much and I am always thinking of you ❤ From short stuff "

"Hello daddy I miss you so much and wish that you could have been with us for longer I know that you will be watching over me and although you weren't with us for long I feel like I've known you all my life I loved ur amazing sense of humor and I will never forget you ♥ "

"Paul, you probably never realised what an important role you played in my life at such a pivotal age for me. Helping me find my way in scouts set the path for the rest of my life, for which I will always be grateful. You had such humour and warmth, and were always someone I could rely on. "

"A lifetime of growing up together, then moving into adulthood. So, so many memories and stories we will all cherish and revisit over the years to come. Love and miss you my little brother. All our love, Nicky, Steve, Jasmine, Isaac and Elysia xxxxx"

"Paul, you were one of the kind. The time we spent with you, your beautiful wife Elsa and the kids was amazing. You taught us what love should look like. How to support your loved ones. You were a really good man, even if you didn't want to agree with that. Everybody has their own history and we are glad that we had opportunity to be a little part of yours. Our angel, you are and always will be in our hearts."

"There are no words that seem adequate to express the sadness and loss, for Elsa and the children, your Mum and Dad, Ben and Melissa, your sister and her family and us; I truly believe that those we love, don’t go away, they walk beside us, they are with us every day - we may not see them, we may not hear them, but they are forever near, so, Paul you will always be with us in so many ways. Good night Paul, you will never be alone as part of us is with you, and we will always hold you close in our hearts. "

"Firstly Paul I want to say it was a pleasure to have met you! You came in to Elsa and the children’s lives and lit it up! You brought them as much happiness as they brought you. You really were a good man who I know would have had many more wonderful years with your family and friends. You were genuine, very funny with the same inappropriate humour as me and that’s why we got on! You were also strong, brave, focused on what you wanted and what you thought was right. Sleep tight Paul xx"

"Our darling son, Paul. We miss you so very much and always will. Today would have been your 50th birthday. You brought us so much joy and happiness with your laughter and caring nature. Our love is with you always and your love with us. Rest peacefully, our dear boy. Mum and Dad. xx"

"Paul, I will never forget the memories we made this year. I feel so grateful to have met you and I’ll never forget the long conversations we had, the laughs and my favourite memory of you pushing me and Elsa around on the lilos one afternoon. Such an amazing man who I will remember forever. Sending my love to Elsa and all the family xxxx"

"In a relatively short time, our friendship with you, Elsa and the children went from strength to strength. Almost two years seemed like 22! Your can do attitude will always be an example to me as will your friendship, sense of fun and love. You were earmarked for higher office which is our loss and heavens gain. Our hearts go out also to Elsa, Brianna, Saffy and Logan, whose loss is just immense. Please know that we will always be there with and for you. Tracy and I both know that you are peacefully at rest, we will miss you terribly. With love Harry and Tracy. "

"Our fondest memories of Paul is of him growing up. He had a real appetite for life, wanting to learn at any opportunity. He loved to try new things, an extremely hot curry which even Tess the dog wouldn't eat or sample a new drink. His family meant a great deal to him and was the most important part of his life. "

"God bless you Paul. We didn’t know you long enough but could feel the love between you and Elsa on our nights out at the Lord Nelson. It was wonderful to see how happy you all were as a family, the love you shared was a bright shining star! We are all so much poorer and heaven is so much richer for your passing. Our hearts and prayers go out to Elsa and the family at this sad time. Rest in peace Paul "

"Although I haven’t known Paul long, the memories we all shared will last a life time. I’ll never forget the evenings by the bar talking till the early hours of the morning, belly laughing from Paul’s jokes. A genuinely loving guy, who will always be remembered for his humour, charm and generosity. Sending my love to Elsa and the family xxxx"
