av8 Paul Paul Howard sad news

I am a very good friend of Paul & Marge Howard from Sagamore Beach MA, better known as av8Paul. Paul and Marge are out here in Arizona vacationing. As I know how much you all meant to Paul I am bringing you all very sad news.

<O</OUnfortunately Paul Howard passed away last night Feb 16, 2011 @ 11:00 pm in Fountain Hills AZ do to a heart attack. I want you all to know that he had checked off another one of his “bucket list” by going to the Grand National with his roadster and his side kick Marge. They spent the day Tuesday driving the heck out of the car with the top down, rattling the great pipes on his car enjoying their time together. Yesterday Feb 16, 2011 Paul meet with some of his AZ car buddies going to breakfast then working on their car and doing what he loved most talking car talk.<O></O>
<O></O>
Marge is doing as well as can be expected. She will have Paul cremated here in AZ and be holding a ceremony once she is back in MA with her family. Pauls car and trailer are here safe and we are working on who and how to get the car back home to MA. Please feel free to spread this news to all that know this wonderful man. Also call and or email me as I can keep you posted.<O></O>

Paul’s passion for his wonderful family, good friends and the car world will be a big loss. But do remember what Paul always said “if they are two loud, your to old.” So every time you here a great set of pips you know Paul will be smiling down on all of us.<O></O>

very sad. may Marge find peace in knowing that Paul was with her and doing what he loved.. RIP

 

I'm sorry to hear this... I had never met him but always thought our paths would cross at some point. It's good to here that he got to enjoy the perfect roadster weather we're having one last time - the best send off possible.

 

I'm shocked and saddened to read this news. We had just talked about meeting up at Loring this summer.

My deepest condolences to Marge and family, Paul and his AV8 will be missed

 

Oh WOW that is sad news. He was always fun to be around. He drove the wheels off of his roadster. He was a hero of mine.

 

I am very sorry to hear this news. Thank you for letting us know. My family's thoughts and prayers go out to Marge and Paul's family and friends.

RIP Paul.

 

RIP AV8paul!!!!

Rest in Peace Paul...

 

Godspeed Paul. May your family find comfort soon.

 

condolences to family and friends...RIP

 

What?!!! Wow!!! My condolences, I've read tons of his posts, he seemed like good guy, and I loved his car!!

RIP, Paul!!

 

A tragic loss for sure but he was doing what he loved to do and thats more than many can say. Rip Paul and peace be with you.

 

RIP Paul, & show 'em how it's done, in Hod Rod Heaven...

 

Met him at Bonneville, he was a great guy. I'm very sorry to hear this......R.I.P. Paul.

 

RIP to a fellow Hot Rodder that I never had the pleasure to meet. I am happy that he spent his last days doing what he loved and condolences to his family.

 

So sad to hear.

Paul was one of my hotrod mentors.

His roadster was a HUGE inspiration for my coupe build.

My best memory was when he and Marge came to my house in Rhode Island for the clHAMBake. My oldest daughter was only a couple years old and she was running out of the shop and she tripped and fell and scraped her knee. Before I or my wife could run over to see her, there was Paul kneeling down and holding her in his lap, making sure she was ok...

Godspeed my friend.

 

This is indeed very sad news - our condolences to his family and friends.

 

How very sad. He was really looking forward to this trip out west. RIP.

 

RIP Paul. God Bless.

 

Sorry to read this. I always read his posts and about his adventures in the roadster. He will be missed...but not forgotten. RIP Paul.

Very bad news indeed. At least he went quick instead of lingering.

I got a little time on my hands and not much else but if there is anything I can do drop me a note.

Oh dear. That really was too soon. I'm so sorry.

Wow...I'm very bummed. RIP

 

I'm floored! I just got a PM from Paul Tuesday night in which he said, "I am still in AZ. Having a ball doing roadster things." My thoughts and prayers go out to Marge and family. We all just lost one super guy.
