Really, really saddened to hear this. While first and foremost a tragic loss
to his family he is now a very great loss to this newsgroup and I will remember him as a true gentleman of the group with time for everyone. Like Mike Tullett before him, a very sad loss, but their memories live on. "As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death." "jhn374" wrote in message ... I know Paul used to post on here for many years, so many will be sad to hear he passed away last night :-( It was announced on his website today:- http://www.rutnet.co.uk/pp/gold/viewgold.asp?id=7 |

![]() "Eskimo Will" wrote in message ... This is all so sad, if not unexpected as he has not been well recently. Paul and I go back a long way. I remember in the late 90s and early 2000s the phone calls wehad, discussing teh five day outlooks. He was a great snow enthusiast and loved his sledging. A damn good long range forecaster as well, one of the very best. He had his own statistical methods and would rarely go out on a limb. Whenever I got depressed with a mild outlook, he used to say "chin up Will" it ain't that bad. rememebr teh WMO snowman thread, paul was brilliant with that and in those days we always got a good repartee going. Rememeber the forecasting competition he and I had, he always used to do better than me and then there was the offer of pints in the local etc etc. oh dear tears are welling up, must stop. rest in peace my friend. Will -- ================================================== === ....and now is the time that "chin up Will" is appropriate. I know you were close and my condolences to you too, Will. |

Many a communication passed between us on Great Crested Newts which he had in his pond and in which we both had a special interest. Rest in peace Paul. Phil Northern Highlands of Scotland |

Like several of us here, he originated in the "pencil and rubber" generation of weather forecasting and later in his career was able to expoit the developing technology. He was clearly an enthusiast for his craft. The "Bartlett High" is a fitting memory. Maybe we can have a whip-round to reserve the third "P" in the DWD high namings for this year in memoriam ! http://www.met.fu-berlin.de/adopt-a-vortex/hoch2012/ Richard I would be interested in contributing - Whenever I asked for Paul for advice on matters meteorological he was always obliging, taking time to answer in detail. A true gentleman. |
