Wow, his last statement here on ST pretty much sums it all up.
He was in a good place.

An extremely inspiring and sad story all the way around. Best to Paul in the next one, and all the best to his family and friends in this one.

My condolences to all of Paul's family and friends.
He had a very special place on Super-topo for the last year or so, and he will live large in my heart.

Love and condolences to family and immediate friends. Paul managed to touch a lot of us only through this forum, and that fact mitigates some of the negative feelings I (we?) sometimes have about Supertopo. He was an inspiration to me, and I owe him for making me aware of the Humboldt climbing scene after I left so long ago.
For someone I never met I'm hit remarkably hard by this, but he made me proud to be a human by his attitude, courage, and conduct.

Hope I meet you on the other side Paul. That Paul's suffering has ended isn't but a small consolation. Warm regards to Paul's loved ones during these times.

Wow.
I was just reading one of his TR's that someone bumped...thinking about how hard it must have been for him, to get through the cancer, and the injuries, to have to fight it again.
I was floored by his honesty, his writing style, and the fact that through it all he kept finding reasons to go on.
Then, I find this...and know the reason his posts are being bumped.
What a loss. RIP. Don't know what else to say. I was already in shock reading his TR, and then this.

It was an honor to be taken along by Paul on his terribly difficult journey.
The man kept it real. Beautiful, raw, brutal, but always real. That must be true courage.
I'm pretty broken up. I knew him only here, through 'Topo, but still I'm broken up.
It's tough when such a bright light drifts out of sight beyond the horizon forever.
His presence here was a huge gift, and I hope even more that it gave him some catharsis.
Miss you already Paul.
