My fossicking mate Paul passed away this morning.
 
Will always remember Paul as great mate and keen fossicker.

My thoughts and prayers are with Paul's wife Sharyn and their family.

In Sharyn's words "He won the battle with multiple myeloma as he is no longer in any pain."  A very brave couple.

Thanks for letting us know, Jerry. I am thankful for the good times we shared with Paul over the years. He will always be fondly remembered by Sue and I.

A real fossicking mate and a valued friend.
         
        Always generous with his time and knowledge, introduced me to the fossicking sites of Torrington and Glen Innes and all with a great sense of humour. Will be sadly missed.

First met Paul when he walked down to where I was fossicking for sapphires with a couple of mates at Native Dog Creek.  Think that was around about 2005.

Got on great with Paul and mentioned Minerama to him. Well after that you could not stop him.

An number of years we even looked after the Minerama field trip to Pretty Valley as well as exploring other spots in the region.

From memory we have fossicked around Glen Innes, Tingha, Inverell, Emmaville, Torrington, Hogarth Ranges, Grabben Gullen and Oberon areas as well as my showing him around Agate Ck and O'Briens Ck in Qld.

Going to miss you mate.

RIP

So sorry to hear he has passed away. I never met him, but he did pass on some handy hints and info to me on the forum. God bless you mate.
