This has been one of the saddest news I have had for a long time. Paul has been a member of my campaign team since I was first selected here and he and Louie, his girlfriend, have become good friends. Paul was responsible for creating and managing this website and has been helping me with all technical issues. He was an absolute genius with computers but the best thing about Paul was that he was willing to give his time and expertise at anytime as if I was the most important person at the time and had his undivided attention. We used to communicate frequently, almost daily, through e mail and I would always get an immediate reply. I am sure everyone who knew him felt the same and can speak of his generousity and kindness.

At our campaign meeting on Wednesday evening he was full of ideas about what we should do next and his death is completely inexplicable. He was really looking forward to a weekend with his computer colleagues. The whole campaign team are devastated.
