Happy Birthday darling. We miss you...浮云一别后，流水十年间。

Dear Paul,
Today, we commemorate what would have been your 70th birthday. Memories flood back..... When you left Shanghai, I crafted a scrapbook for you as a present in honor of our time working together. On its front page, I inscribed an ancient Chinese poem, "海内存知己，天涯若比邻," which translates to "If you have a friend afar who knows your heart, distance cannot keep you two apart." Turning to the final page of the scrapbook, I chose to echo the profound words of Winston Churchill, "This is not the end, this is not even the beginning of the end, this is perhaps the end of the beginning." This quote, symbolic of our journey and the indelible impact you've had.

With these words, both ancient and timeless, I pay tribute to your wisdom, warmth, and selflessness that you've imparted on us all. Though we miss you deeply, your legacy endures, inspiring and guiding us forward.

With love and a heart full of memories

70 should have been a party with joy and smile, all of what you possess so much of Paul.
Some of your closest from DNV "meet here" on this page for two days a year and share our good memories about and with you Paul. That is actually very good as it keeps your closer in out thoughts than you would imagine.

As this page says - you are forever missed

Happy Birthday darling - we should be celebrating your 70th today and it makes me feel sad that we cannot. The kids are doing well, our little boy got married last December and we have just returned from Amy's celebrating his 30th. Fi is getting married in November to a wonderful man who makes her very happy. You have two adorable grandchildren who are now 3 and 6 and together with Amy and Ray are living a wonderful expat life (must be in the genes). The years are flying past. Hope you know that you are always remembered with love and we all still miss you so much. xx

Dear Paul,
As I navigate through my career, reaching milestones and facing challenges, I often find myself wishing I could share these moments with you. Your wisdom and guidance were always a beacon for me, and your advice had a way of shedding light on the most complex situations.
With love and a heart full of memories

8 yrs has gone Paul. It is a long time, feels a lot has happened, but still you are there - in my thoughts. Not many people do that to my head, probably only my parents and you.
I have made it an annual habit on Jan 22 and your birthday to go into "your site here" and remember, think and once a again look through the nice pictures, listen to the nice, but sad music, and mostly think of you. Miss you!

Another year has gone by and it does not seem possible that here we all are moving on without you in our lives. Our darling boy was married in December and it broke my heart that you were not there to see the wonderful man he has turned into. It was a magical day but bittersweet. Our beautiful girl has got engaged to a wonderful man and she is to be married in November - another bittersweet day. Our lovely Amy has the most beautiful family and they will be moving onto another country this summer for new adventures.  Wish it could have been different - hope wherever your beautiful soul has gone its a happy place. xx

The email trigger reminds me every year on the sad fact you are not among us any longer Paul. The nice and sad music, the pictures and seeing your good smile, reminds me on so many dialogues we have had over these years.

You are (still) being missed!

Another year passes and you are still missed, loved and remembered for the wonderful man you were - the world is going slightly mad and you would love the crazy political situation and the fact that Burnley have got promotion to the Premier League. Always in our hearts xx

We all spoke about you a lot yesterday on what would have been your 68 birthday. You now have another beautiful grandchild and another reminder of the wonderful man who sadly left us too soon. Miss you always xx

Dear Paul, happy birthday to you. Missing your smile and wisdom.

67 is in several countries often normal retirement age. Very sadly and unfortunate, you «retired» way too early Paul. Your dear employer has become DNV again, as the company you served so well for so many years.

Personally I still think a lot of you, oftentimes, and I miss having our dialogues about this that and evertthing. Few, if any, could fill that role as you did.

Miss you

Dear Paul,

Yesterday I was talking to an old DNV colleague about what DNV did to increase career development opportunities for leaders. During our conversation, your name came up a few times..

Your legacy lives on. We miss you..

Paul you would be so proud of the wonderful children we have who have turned into the nicest adults. We talk about you often and remember the cherished lovely memories we all have of you. Miss you always xx

Still always leaving a huge gap in so many .... leaving a huge crater in me my love. We all miss you every day and even though its now five years since we saw your lovely face it still hurts that I cant see your wonderful face light up whenever we used to meet or across a crowded room. Love you Paul, always xx

Dear Paul.
5 years sounds like a long time, and a lot of big things has happened in the world.
You are still being missed, deeply.
Jørn

Forever missed and loved by so many ..... Happy Birthday darling xx

Miss you Paul. Thinking of you on your birthday.
Your passing was just so early. Feeling it is very unfair

Still miss you, remembering all the fun times we had and the pints in the Lord Kitchener.and the day you brought Lyn home for our approval.
Love you allways Linda and Bob.xxxxxxx

Dear Paul, it is so good to have this memorial website for people coming back to visit beloved you. I missed your smile and wisdom from time to time. Wish you a peaceful and happy life up there.

Dear Paul,
We are missing you, your professionalism, your face, your voice, ... and your kindness. It is different without you. Hope you have a good life up there. Be with us .

Dear Paul,

How I wish I could share with you all the new things l learned this past year. How I wish you could give me your advice as I am soon starting a new and exciting chapter in my professional life. I hope I can make you proud of me. 

Dear Paul. Getting these annual reminders of Your passing makes me sad, but also able to think through what you meant for both me and many other People and the Company where you spent so many years and delivered so much.
Miss you a lot, DNV GL and HR is not the same without you

Remembering you today with so much love and affection - still hurts and still wish you were here with me. Hope wherever your lovely spirit has gone you are happy xx

Hi Paul, It has been a few years since we lost you. Trust you are happy up there.

Dear Paul,
I brought your photo with me to my new office for you to see how I am doing. I always share with you about different changes in my life. I know you can hear and see me....
Yun

Dear Paul, Miss you very much! RIP

Dear Paul.
Already 3 years, it is not to believe. When I see the picture of you here and other places "where I have you stored", I get sad for having lost you, but also glad for having known you.
We are still walking in your footsteps here @DNV GL, your work home for so many years.
Miss you, rest in piece

It’s hard not to smile when remembering you Paul, we will always be truly thankful to have been given the opportunity to spend time with you and your beautiful family during our time in Shanghai & of course Scotland. Forever in our thoughts

Dear Paul, you are always with us. Hope you are having good life up there.

Dear Paul.
There are still big footprints in DNV (GL) after you, the biggest one is you as a person. I think a lot of you and really miss you around.

Dear Paul,

I miss you very much!

Paul had a challenging job in various positions, but for the 20 years that I had pleasure of knowing him and working with him, he always did his job so professionally and in such a friendly manner with a big smile, that even worst news became easily acceptable.
He had a very big heart of Gold. God Bless him.

Fondest memories of a wonderful man who came into our family and became a family member and uncle Paul to our children.You enriched our lives by your presence and are sadly missed by our family.God bless and rest in peace

Happy Birthday, Paul!
