Save me a ringside seat up there my friend with DUCK1 as well.Just remember we never truly die my friend we just regroup for another chapter in our being with old friends and family.The ones who suffer are the ones left behind,So go easy brother we will take it from here.

Your friend Coop

Paul, it has been an honor to fly beside you and we will pray for you, I don't want the magic to go, Those doctors don't always get it right. Your true heart is in your soul and your soul never dies.

I never met you, or got to fly with you, but your stories on the forum were awesome! I agree with Darknight, you soul lives on! Thanks for being here!

Your spirit will be with us till the end of time.


We send you a smile and hope it rubs of on you. Know that in mind we will be with you.


I left you a PM. Feel free anytime my friend.

No. It is not possible ...
At first I thought .... the google translator is wrong ..... maybe I misunderstood ..... and instead no.
We know little, but I think it takes an endless courage to write as you did.
And it is a great honor for me, to be able to say I met you.
And I kneel in front of you, my great friend. Great Man. Great Fly Magic Man.

It's been an honor flying with you, Magic Man.

Paul,
This game is a source of fun and frustration. You make the Dogfight world, as well as the real world, a better place. Thank you.

You will be missed. The world will be less fun without your jokes and funny videos. I say celebrate your life !!!!

I didn't have the chance to get to know you Paul, but I do know how many people you've touched here - that is something that will never die.
Godspeed, you will be sorely missed.

Paul can you send me a pm?

Sad news Paul. I fear we are not destined for the same place but if by chance I'm considered, I hope you'll put in a good word for me when my time comes.

Sounds like you've got the right attitude and I hope there is no pain. My best to you and your family.

It's just a shame Death doesn't use our servers so we'd have some lag built in. MAGIC TIME

Paul, I was headed to town and just happened to hear this song. I felt like I needed to post it. Our band has played this in our youth worship (I play the violin part). Anyway, it talks about believing with our heart and confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord. I hope you are saved...anyway, I felt like I needed to share it.

Paul, I guess once we hit middle age we're all on the "downhill" slope. You've had a great ride my friend, and it has been my privilege to know you through this silly game and the forum. All rolled into one, you have been a voice for sanity, for the inane, and for everything in between, and the world will be a lesser place without you. Stay as long as it pleases you my friend, and when you decide to go, remember you leave this place better than when you found it. Fair winds and blue skies...

Tom

I don't know you Paul but from what I hear you are greatly admired and looked up to very much. Sadness is only natural when parting from the people you love but I'm just reminded of the joy we should have in knowing where we are going; going home to be with Father God.

Mike, I found the song you linked to be really encouraging and so, so true.

Another song that I'm reminded of is 'When I Get Where I'm Going' by Brad Paisley.



God Bless you Paul and may you find the Lord

Paul,

Thank you for taking the time to break this news to us. I do not know you well even in the game, but many I like and respect hold you in high regard. That's good enough for me, brother. Take the time to enjoy your family my friend. I will pray for a miraculous recovery for you and peace on you and your family in this hour of need. You are a brave man to face this so boldly.

Hi

I just wanted to tell you that i am sad, and that reading the messages : you have so many friends here !

I hope the doctors are wrong, as they can not always know everything.

Courage.

Your friend.

@Paul,

As a newcomer, I don't think I've had the honor and privilege to fly with and against you. All that I know about you are from your posts here in the forum when I checked on old posts upon joining this community. Your reputation precedes you so to speak.

Its a shame that I and many other newcomers won't get the chance to meet you even though its mostly in-game. Cheers and may you have a happy flight to your next destination.

I echo what Robert just said.. I have read your stories and seen many of your old posts while looking around the world of Dogfight.. and have heard you spoken about in high-esteem by pilots here that I respect & admire.. so I will be missing out on the chance to fly with & know such a fine person & pilot as yourself. Godspeed.

Found a few words... What I'd like to tell you to your face...

Mr FlyMagic, hard to find words to say. One of my earliest memories of you was when you were sat in the cave on the mountain with a face and you tried to guide me to it. I never got there and still haven't I'm waiting for you to show me the way again. And you my friend were the very first person to talk to me in this game, gave me the confidence to start making an utter fool of myself and hopefully making someone laugh along the way, just as you have bought smiles and laughter to us all.

Hey paul, I know ive posted once already, but I just had to post again. Man, im still having a hard time processing this. .. ...... I just cant believe it. ...... Im going to miss the heel out of u man, but realistically, who wouldnt! Ur a great pilot and an even better friend. My aunt would also like to wish u Good luck and hopes u feel better.

This is my favorite song by Tim McGraw. How u like it buddy


Now, I know u have already went sky diving, and every time u did, u yelled out "Magic Time!" And 2-3 hangers went up in smoke. It always made me laugh, even when u where red. What a way to uplift spirits lol.
And as for mountain climbing, u have done that too lol when u climb to the top of duckwing mtn. Lol.

I really hope the docs are wrong man. The worst always happens to the best...
but I am happy u will be with the lord and eill no longer have to suffer down here on whats left of this twisted and sick world we live in. Im also sendingbu a pm and hope u have time to reply, on ur own time of course

Ur good friend,
~tKestrel

Well.....

it seems my pms are still broke... paul can u pm me so I can pm u

Paul, I'm sorry we haven't talked in so long, and I'm sorry to hear the news. It's been an honor to know you, and I'll pray that you'll be at peace soon.

Your friend for always,
Calvin Reeder

See you in the Sky.

Paul I'm.at a loss for words its been a.long time since we flew together but I will rember those flights my hat is off to you sir fond memories you will be missed by all.darraxx the mad rabbit

Dear Paul,

I think we all feel that we are honoured that you share this sad news with us.
This will, without a doubt, become hard times for you, and those who love you.

Just a thought.........which might be of some support:

".....God is greater than our hearts and knows all things." 1 John 3:20

Wishing you all the best,

Ed

Dear Paul,
You sir.......................


Have made a difference!
I can't even imagine, how many smiles you have brought into this world. I am sure it is a legendary number. To look here and see how many players that have never even had the opportunity to, fly along with, or get one of their first PM's (my man Paul wanted to know about me for my MOM banner/advitar before I was officially accepted... shhhhh tell no one... ok?)from you, or that great moment when you thanked them for one of their post's! Speaks volumes about who you are and how we all should try our best to emulate.

I have told you before and will tell you again, your love of adventure, and going after your dreams, is so inspiring. A true live'er of life, not a sit back and say "someday I will do this or that". No Sir! A very determined man of his word, that knows the secret of living life the way it is meant to be lived! BOLDLY!!!

You have made this world a better place, and I hope and pray that, I will be honored with the opportunity to shake your hand, in this life or the next!





Thank you "Magic Man"!

Your friend and student,
Brian

That last one on ur pic describes paul to the T. "Being hell-bent on reaching a goal and gettihg it done no matter what" lol thats the truth!

Paul,
You have always been a hoot and it's been great flying with you.
Wishing you the best, we will miss you.
RB

Ohhhh hellll no you don't. I never got a chance to meet you in person. I got a tree with a view to your toilet, remember. AIRBAGGGS , I will never forget that.

Though I never played a match with you, I thought id stop by and pay my respects. Its sad to hear that you are leaving us, you have alot of people here that will miss you much. I been debating if I should stopuby or not. Maybe some would think this isnt my place. But here were all a family and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a connection with such a great guy. I pray for you and I hope by some Marcial work of god he will make you better. But if anything your now in my heart as I am in yours. Iand I cant wait to meet you at the golden gate ready for take off. This is a fantasy to me but I hope it is possible. But I hope to meet all my dogfight friends in heaven for a df match that will break ever record set. I just though id share that to enlightened the mood. Anyways good luck to ya pal may jesus be with you
