Paulus happy in his own garden. April 28th 2007.

I was just wondering why Pauls Bonnie became the featured bass of the month. I am now shocked to know the reason why. My only consolation is that I am sure heaven's best blues band has a new bassist now. I will never forget his spirit.

Sorry ,i speak french!
Toute mes condol?an?e a la famille,
nous somme tres triste

Very sad news indeed. My condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed. Godspeed, Paul!

I am very sorry for the loss of Paul, and my thoughts are with his family.

To Pauls family and friends;
 
Although it is impossible to see beyond your pain,
May we look back to good memories to comfort and help you today
May your heart and soul find peace and happiness.
May the blessings of God be upon you,
May peace be always within your soul,
May its essence illuminate your heart,
Now and forever more
Hold tight the good

I am am saddened for Paul's family and for all of us who'll miss him.  I wish he were here to spin a comment or a joke.  I'm not sure what he'd say (Who ever was?), but I feel fortunate to remember his presence so clearly.

So terribly, terribly sad.  The awfulness of the randomness of the universe....
 
I read many, many of his posts since i signed up here and he was always such a beacon of fun, joy, and the love of music and all things Alembic.  My deepest sympathy to his family and loved ones.
 
On the death of Irving Thalberg, Groucho Marx was quoted as saying, Why is it that the good die young and the schmucks live to be 100?  
 
Godspeed, Brother Palembic.  Say hi to Jaco, the Ox, and James on the other side.

My heartfelt sorrow and sincere thoughts towards Pauls family at this devastating time of loss.
 
Can there be anything worse for a partner to lose a soulmate or for a child to lose a parent who has guided them through every stage of life?
 
We are all simply leaves that flourish in spring then fade with age and the onset of fall - the winds of time carry us away and we become a memory in time.
 
Love never dies.

I could not have expressed my thoughts better than White Cloud!

To all you here : a Warm Musical Friendship from the Belgium to all Paul's Alembic Friends. Never seen such enormous sympathize .... take care you all and : CARPE DIEM  !!!!

here we are like two Brothers ....

I noticed the name in the shop window, so I couldn't resist checking the location. Isn't it wonderfully weird that this should be a picture from Epinal ...
 
From Wikipedia: The expression image d'?pinal has become proverbial in French and refers to an emphatically traditionalist and na?ve depiction of something, showing only its good aspects.
 
Paul leaves us with only good things to remember.

Hi David; thank you for sharing the picture of you with Paul.  It's very nice to meet you.  And it's a really nice picture of the two of you.

I've only just come across this thread, while I did not have personal contact with Paul his wit, charm and personal beauty were evident in his (always enjoyable and interesting) posts. I will sadly miss his spirit here and my deepest feelings are with his family.
