RIP Paul Price, a wonderful Forum member

[Stevie DC]

I've just read this on RMWeb posted by Widnes Model Centre.

It is with great sadness that this blog will go have to go on in our minds and hearts ♥️
Trying to put it into Paul's words and humour. How would he have put it?  I think anyone who read his blogs will know how he would have written it. So have a read of his blogs and laugh with him.

Paul died suddenly on Wednesday 24th April  2019. A giant of a man with an even bigger heart. Taken far too young. What is that they say about the good guys?

The tales he he would tell had me aching with pain. Picture a six feet seven bearded huge male asking the salesman in Curry's to show him how good the light was on a new Hoover he was buying. Even asking if the shop lights could be turned off to see how good the light was. All the while as the young guy is pushing the hoover back and forth with no recognition of Paul humming Freddy  Mercury's I want to break free.

RIP Paul. Forever in our hearts.

Farewell Mr Price, I will really miss our good humoured banter. I hope that you've found a massive LMS layout up there.

[mod]This has been cut from Paul's last thread so we can all remember a really nice guy. Here's Paul's last thread https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=37325.0[/mod]

Very sad news.

Perhaps someone who knew him could post an RIP thread so that all get to know.

A huge sadness.

Please will one of the Mods kindly copy the post from Atso (Steve) to the appropriate place.

I am very shocked to hear this news. Having met Paul a few times at shows in our area I can say a more pleasant chap you couldn't hope to meet. So sad

Please will one of the Mods kindly copy the post from Atso (Steve) to the appropriate place.

I thought @Tank had created a section where we could remember those no longer with us but, sorry, I just can't find it

My thoughts are with the Domestic Overlord.

Does anyone know how to contact him to transmit our condolences ?

If he is reading Paul's e-mails that might work.

Best regards,


Joe

I read the original post regarding the sad passing of Paul, but for some reason have only just realised that is was our Paul.  I enjoyed reading his posts about what he was doing, quite a talented man. RIP Paul.

This is really, really sad news.
I can only add my condolences to the Price family.
Paul will be very sadly missed indeed.

I'm stunned, I can't believe it. I was only jesting with him on here a few days ago.

I never met the guy, but his sense of humour, helpfulness, encouragement and love of all things railway was  amazing. I was going to PM him in a day or two about a little project I was going to  tackle, because I knew he'd have the answers I needed. I had a lot of fun 'sparring' with him about Jubilees, and whether you could ever have enough of them.

I'll miss his presence on the forum greatly.

Paul will certainly be sadly missed.  My condolences to the DO.
