Us Old Saltdeaneers are so sad to hear you decided to leave the gang and ride your Chopper elsewhere. We have shared many memories since hearing of your parting and the web of old friendships remains so intact after so many years. So many happy times together. Deepest sympathy to your family and loved ones. RIP xx
Sorry I can’t be with you for Paul’s funeral. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Paul was a lovely man. Maureen x
I’ve know Paul all my life! He along with a great group of friends shaped an amazing childhood that we all had growing up in Saltdean. The ‘Saltdean girls’ meet up a couple of times a year and we’ve been reminiscing along with the boys about Paul and how sad it is that the gang has lost a member.
I bumped into Paul now and then over the years and he always treated me with “Tracey Buckingham!” His boundless energy was a joy, his sense of humour infectious he will be remembered for ever not least for possibly one of the worst jokes I’ve ever heard about the Balloon Family! Rest in Peace Paul and much love to all your family, friends and colleagues. Tracey Buckingham

Chalky you were taken from us far too early. Thank you for your generosity of spirit and all the joyous silliness. You truly were a very special person and I'll miss you so much. Your loving sister-in-law, Helen x
For my mate Chalky, my tears of sadness are mixed with tears of joy for the fun and laughter we have shared over the years! I will miss you my friend but never forget you, but let's be honest you are simply unforgettable! your friend Matt xx
My Great Friend Chalky
Where do I start
Having been pals for over 44 years
The times we shared have been immense
Never a dull moment your zest for life was infectious I consider myself privileged to have had you as my friend
Death is that state in which one exists only in the memories of others
which in why there is not an end
No Goodbyes
Just Good memories
God Bless
Chalky - you were one of life’s good guys. You were a constant source of fun and love for your family and friends. You will always be here with us. You will be greatly missed and always loved. Sue xx
We will miss Chalky and thinking of you X
On behalf of all at Furlong Flooring we would like to send our love and support to all the family at this sad time.
To us you were the greatest Uncle of all time. You were our unsung hero throughout everything and we are forever grateful for all that you have done for us. We'll cherish the lovely memories we have, amazing adventures, magical mystery tours, silly chats, shoe observations, and how to say our 'You and I's'. You were an amazing man and our sunshine on a rainy day. We will miss you so very much, all our love Phoebe and Henry Xxx
Chalky you touched our lives in so many ways and made such a difference that life was better because of you. Your big personality, your humour, wit and silliness brightened the saddest of days. Your love, kindness, thoughtfulness, strength and bravery saw us through the toughest of times. You were an inspiration to all and your parting was far too soon. We will miss you so much, your daily chats, messages, jokes and weekly visits. They say a person only dies when the last person who loved them dies, so you will always be with us. We love you dearly Shifty and Gerly xxxx

Paul, Peter or Chalky whatever we called you, you always answered! You were ready to help if we needed support and always gave good advice. We loved your sense of humour, whenever we were with you there was always a funny story or situation you had been in to be told. We will miss you so much, the World has had a massive loss without you in it. Love your cuzs Ali & Lee xxxx
Paul was a true gentleman, a pleasure to do business with . So sad that he has been taken from us to soon . We will all miss his happy personality.
Dear lovely Paul, you touched so many lives. To me personally, an amazing mate, a shrewd business partner, a respected mentor and wonderful cousin. We will miss you forever and are trying to imagine you with your gorgeous Dad, Mouse and our Mum along with many others. So sorry we can't be with Pat and your adoring family today but we will do our best to be there for them as time goes by. With massive love Debbie and Warren xx
It’s a very sad thing to be writing here and like most people I really don’t know where to start. You are and always will be in our hearts and never out of my thoughts, you were my best friend and I miss talking to you more than anyone can possibly imagine.
You were dedicated to your family, an amazing husband to the beautiful “Chalk” and the worlds greatest “Bear” to Niall and Niamh.
I would say RIP but that was never in your psyche ....you never properly rested a day in your life so now please now “go in peace” in no pain and watch over all of us who loved you x
Dearest Paul, there will never be another you. Your wonderful zest for life, those marvellous witty stories & your generosity will be so greatly missed by us both. Whenever we drive past Dean Carpets we will always think of you with such fond & happy memories. Thank you for being you. All our love Brian & Georgie
Can't believe your gone Chalky. We will miss you so very much. All our love from Pete & Angie xxxx

It was a privilege to have known you and call you a friend. Go well xx

Paul, we don't know how to find the words. You were the character in every room and you will leave such a gap. We will miss your ridiculous jokes and your 'secret' sweet drawer. All our love, James and Rachel, xxx
Hi ya Paul. Can only say I’m extremely sorry to have not been there for your send off. I will forever remember the footie, the banter, the humour & the music! We had some fun and you & all the boys kept me young! Thinking of Saltdean always makes me smile. They were great times. Love to Pat & the family, you were taken way to soon. Keep dancing Chalky. God bless. Paul & Jane x
