Good-bye Pop Pop

Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy, Fast Eddy....Paul, Pop pop....

The only movie star I have ever met and spent time with....he was more than a movie star...he was a kind, genuine, big hearted man's man who loved Coors Light and sitting in his rocking chair on the porch of his cabin. He loved racing cars and spending time with his grandkids. He made this world a better place to live for so many, especially those who spent time at the Hole In the Wall Gang Camp, which is where I met him.

Paul, I'll never forget the time I was honored enough to have shared with you and your beautiful family. You touched my heart and will be missed. We will take good care of Mark and Kelly and the kids. They loved you so deeply. We are lucky to have so many ways to remember you. Peace.

I cried about this. I know he had been sick with cancer, but still wasn't expecting his death. I can count the actors I admire on one hand, and Paul was at the top of my list. A classy, private, giving person who was utterly sexy well into his 70s. He lived his life with grace and honor.

He was a beautiful person inside and out. How blessed you are to have known him personally! I didn't know he was sick with cancer and only found out when he died, which was very shocking. At the grocery store that day, I passed by his spaghetti sauce and had to buy some. It was kind of a pathetic gesture, but it was just a way of telling him that I appreciate him and the legacy he left behind.

Your tribute to Paul was fantastic. You have a great way with words. He was amazing. A role model for every man in this world.
