Title: Whizz (Paul) has passed away.
Post by: ST2UP on November 08, 2014, 05:28:16 PM: We regret to advise that Whizz (Paul) has passed away in his home in South Australia with his wife Matylda by his side after a considerable battle with a terminal illness.

Paul was passionate about his family, his motorcycling and our club where he served as an OzSTOC Moderator until early 2014.

Pauls wife Matylda advises that they are having a small private family service, but believed Paul would appreciate a toast with a Guiness at a future club function.

The team at OzSTOC have conveyed our sincere condolences to Matylda and family on behalf of the club, and we will undertake a toast at the 2015 National Rally in QLD in remembrance and celebration of our ridden on mate Whizz.

Regards

Team OzSTOC

I for one will be raising a glass to you tonight

Rip old friend.

We have lost a great friend, an invaluable resource for OzSTOC, and one hell of a funny bugger whose company was always greatly enjoyed by all around him at RTEs. Condolences to Matylda and family whose loss is even greater than ours. RIP champ.

Post by: HOFFY on November 09, 2014, 09:42:42 AM: This sad news came as quite a sickening shock to me when I first read the heading.

The last I heard was WHIZZ was on the road to recovery and was moving to South Aust to be assisted by friends and family.

I never met you Paul but I now hope all your pains have now ended, rest in peace young fellow.

Please pass on my condolences to his family.

Sad regards

Post by: Cerebral Knievel on November 09, 2014, 11:58:02 AM: I too had thought that the return to Adelaide was a new beginning after successful treatment.
After Paul's withdrawal from social media i often wondered how he was.
On the few times i met Whizz post treatment he was a true character - positively beaming to be at club events all the while missing his STeed enormously.
Rest in peace mate.

Whizz, you'll be and are sadly missed, your quips and jokes, your knowledge and counsel.

Rest in peace my friend .... Who are we kidding ... Whizz will be up there organising an OzSTOC chapter I'm sure.

Miss Ya Paul..

Post by: BusinessBiker on July 06, 2015, 11:17:55 AM: So sorry to hear that Whizz has moved on. Had lunch with him shortly before he moved back to SA. Planned to have more but he was not well enough. He gave me a throttle stop that I have on my bike now and it always reminds me of Paul. RIP, mate.
