My Brother Paul passed away this morning, a lot of you met him at the vibes and I wanted to let you all know. Thanks for all my vibes friends that welcomed Paul at the vibes, he wore his Terrapin hat everyday.

Oh Chris, I so sorry that Paul has passed. How awful for you and your family I am happy to have met him and known the pleasure of his company. He was a sweet and kind guy. Thank you for bringing him to Vibes where we all got to know him. I cannot even imagine the grief you and your family are going through... Much love to you all.
May the road rise to meet him
May the wind be always at his back
May the sun shine warm upon his face
the rains fall soft upon his fields
And, until you meet again
May God hold him safely in his hands
May the road rise to meet him
May the wind be always at his back
May the sun shine warm upon his face
the rains fall soft upon his fields
And, until you meet again
May God hold him safely in his hands

The Rose Still Grows Beyond The Wall
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light:
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall,
Through which there shone a beam of light.
Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice length,
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before.
And it lost itself in beauties new.
Breathing its fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve,
And make our courage faint or fall?
Nay, let us faith and hope receive,
The rose still grows beyond the wall.
Scattering fragrance far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore.
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forevermore.

Thanks to everyone... Been a long 2 days, just blows my mind I have to go sit down with the funeral home tomorrow and pick out a coffin. It looks like Paul had a heart attack, he was staying between mine and my brothers house while he was recuperating from the operation he had, he was at Mikes house when he called to Mike to help him around 3:30AM and than went unconcious, Mike worked on him with CPR along with Mel his wife until the paramedics arrived, they worked on him further and rushed him to the hospital. When I got to Mikes the ambulance was pulling out, I turned around and went to the hospital where they brought me in a back room and said the doc would come to talk to me, after about 20 mins she told me Paul was gone and they would let me see him, sad seeing my baby brother like that, just breaks my heart. What really gets me is Paul has been saying for the last couple months that something is wrong, he went to all kinds of doctors and tests, he went to 2 doctors the day he died, one gave him an EKG and said he was fine. Hopefully we find out what caused it. Sorry to ramble and thank you for all the calls.. Butch, Candi and Karen I'll call you guys in a couple days. I take solice that Paul loved the Vibes, he wore his hat ever day and was talking about it coming back to bridgeport the other day. We are planning on burying him with his hat and Vibes hoodie. Thanks again, Love to my friends, Chris
