Hoisting another Sierra Nevada to him with you guys. | | | Re: Wacko has passed away | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 247 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 247 | It's 3:30AM and this news still won't allow me any sleep, so instead I salute you with a Fat Tire Ale, Paul. Thank you for hounding me nightly, until I promised to attend the next NW event. Thank you for telling me afterward that that one or two events didn't make me a vanner, just a traveling van owner. Your relentless passion fueled my own and gave me the courage to keep attending events in spite of the knowledge that, as always, I would be the rookie, the one with the ugliest, rat-trap van on the grounds. I have only been a "traveling van owner" for eight years, but that's seven more than I thought I'd spend with my trusty rat-trap, J.J.
I salute you Paul for infecting yet another, with the vanny passion...
P.S. Any other Washington-based "van owners" care to join me tomorrow night at Hooters Tacoma for a proper salute?

Apparently one of his favorite concoctions was a drink called nuclear waste, so they will have the nuclear wasteland bar open. It also supports and promotes the 2011 C of C in California.

That's what you were to Paul, family. It's taken me three weeks to log-in to read what you all have written about my husband, you honor him greatly (and made me cry, more than once). He loved Vanning with a passion that not even I understood at times. I want to thank you all for the cards and the donations to Paul and I, they were greatly appreciated. Lots of Love to Judith who was the first to arrive here to save my sanity, followed a week later by my best friend Sally from Australia and she left about a week after Judith did. I had a week by myself before Carl and Janice from AZ arrived. They arrived on Friday the 7th and were here on Sunday morning when Paul passed. The support and the loving care they took of me and my son on that day words cannot relay how I feel, I will always hold them close to my heart.
I sit here tonight still wondering "what the hell" even though I had two and a half years to prepare, funny thing is you're never ready to say goodbye even when you think you are. It wasn't my son saying goodbye to his Dad that morning and telling him he loved him and that he would miss him that made me cry the most it was when little Paul climbed up into my arms (all 70 lbs of him) and told me not to cry it would be alright, that he would take care of me. So I don't want you to worry about me cause little Paul will take care of me and I will take care of him.
Now all you need to do is take care of each other, Bye for now, Sue xxx | | |
