Condolences to Seahawk's family.

He will still be with you because you will think of him everyday.

I do not know how I missed this until now. I am shocked! SeaHawk you will be missed.
I remember a few phone calls and PMs sent back and forth about my daughter deciding to go to USNA and eventually becoming a NAVY pilot. Paul really helped calm my nerves and things would be okay. God Speed my friend!

Yeah...that's not Paul/Seahawk. It's another friend of his from near his farm that he wrote about from time to time. I bought a truck from him about 10 years ago. He refers to both people in the photo in the third person.

Saddened to follow this thread to conclusion, Paul was a great contributor and wrote entertaining stories. I always enjoyed his aviation comments. RIP sir, Pelican Parts Forum's newest Hall of Fame member.

Just now getting caught up on things.

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends. Will pray that you find peace with the loss of a someone who touched so many lives.

I would love to hear humorous and unusual stories about Seahawk that stand out in your mind: ones that make you smile and have wonderful memories that bring joy as you dwell on them.

Condolences to SeahawkJR and the entire Seahawk family. Your father was very much a respected figure here on Pelican.

Someone must be able to find a pic, there have been several mentioned. I always thought that pic in #133 was Paul but I never met him, you did.

I was hoping to hear about a service or memorial, that might be in Aiken SC. Thought I would take the 911 and represent the Pelican gang.

Although we never met in person, we had communications about military challenge coins and even talked about swapping some for our collections. Life got busy and we never did. Nothing can change the fact the we never exchanged anything but it does drive home a fact.

Don’t wait! We all have friends and family that are still with us and that it has been a minute since you have talked. Give them a call or better yet visit them. We are all headed to the same end game. Don’t let regret bite you

I am very fortunate my parents are still with us. Being in their 80’s, you just never know and every day is a gift. Heck, I could fall down our stairs tomorrow, you just never know. The world makes it easy to say, “I’ll do it tomorrow”.

All I am saying, reach out to those you love and are close with. Take a moment to look around and appreciate what this spinning rock is space has to offer. Laugh more often and blow off the crap that doesn’t mean squat.

Bugs

RIP my friend, your presence on the forum will be missed, along with your pics of your views out of your window and awesome scenery.
