Blackjack Posted May 18, 2013 #1 Posted May 18, 2013 I got a call from Toni earlier this week to let me know that Paul had been in a pretty serious accident (on Tuesday, I think!). He is in the hospital, where he has already had leg surgery and remains afflicted with a number of broken ribs and other resultant difficulties and ailments as a result. His 2002 Midnight Venture is a goner. Please send your thoughts and prayers in his direction...
CaptainJoe Posted May 18, 2013 #2 Posted May 18, 2013 Prayers sent! ps. might want to move this to prayers and insperational? before people start whinning...
bongobobny Posted May 18, 2013 #7 Posted May 18, 2013 Same here! Read it and immediately prayed for him. Will keep him in thought and prayer. Thanks Blackjack for telling us about it.
Squidley Posted May 18, 2013 #8 Posted May 18, 2013 Thanks for keeping us in the loop Jeff, all the best for Paul in his recovery and his family.
mini-muffin Posted May 19, 2013 #14 Posted May 19, 2013 This can't be good after everything that poor man has been through already. I remember those pics he showed us after that big surgery he had a few years back. Keep us up on how he's doing Terry. Margaret
dunsonaventure Posted May 20, 2013 #17 Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks BlackJack for the post. Putting him at the top of my prayer list.
sarges46 Posted May 21, 2013 #21 Posted May 21, 2013 Our thoughts are with the Good Pastor! Heal well and quickly!
BuckShot Posted May 21, 2013 #22 Posted May 21, 2013 Prayer's sent for a complete and speedy recovery
Blackjack Posted May 23, 2013 Author #24 Posted May 23, 2013 It is with a very heavy and very sad heart that I inform all of you that Pastor Paul died on Tuesday from complications related to his recent motorcycle accident. Toni has just told me that he went into a Code Blue status (likely the result of all the broken ribs) and was rushed into emergency surgery. If I understand correctly, his spleen was engorged, then ruptured, and he bled out. I apologize for the sketchy details, but that is all I know right now. Paul was a giant of a man with a heart and a laugh that easily accompanied his size. He was both diligent and vigilant in his friendship and ministry to a great number of his motorcycling brothers and sisters, including those he knew here on this Forum. Truthfully, every time I bite into seafood I think of the great times many of us enjoyed on Tybee Island with Paul, Toni, and each other. The funeral will held next Wednesday morning (May 29th) at: Elliott Sons Funeral Home, 2524 Lumpkin Road, Augusta, GA 30906 | 706-793-0123 | http://goo.gl/maps/ZM018 PGR will escort Pastor Paul to his place of internment at the Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery at Milledgeville GA. http://goo.gl/maps/FNozZ For those of you in the area, your attendance, if at all possible, will be greatly appreciated by Paul's family.
CaptainJoe Posted May 23, 2013 #25 Posted May 23, 2013 So sorry to hear that. He will truly be missed. Paul, his friends and family will be in Penny and my thoughts and prayers.
