So very sorry for your loss
Very sorry for your loss. Paul was a great guy and horseman.
My heartfelt condolences to the whole family. I was one of Paul’s closest friends in high school and although we embarked on very different paths, I always felt he was one of the friends in my life where you could pick up a conversation from where you last left off with ease. I know Paul must have endured very difficult times lighting this illness, but I will always hold in my heart the memories I have with Paul embracing every new experience we went through with the excitement And energy I know you all love Paul for.
My deepest sympathies
Denny
Lots of love to Eileen, Laura, Susan, Bernie and the great Bast Family. Paul was just one of the greatest guys I have ever known. I still consider the day I was in the Aksarben Grandstands watching Paul guide GERMAN JACK across the finish line in 1st place as one of the greatest days of my life. And that has nothing to do with the win ticket I had in my back pocket. I am crushed he is gone, I am so lucky I was able to call him my friend.
To all of Paul’s family and many friend know how much I share your sorrow. My memories extend to grade school, tourturing my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Bast, with incorrigible behavior, only to being welcome in the Bast home after school. Paul was a person who I honestlly believe was loved by everyone who was blessed to have him as a friend. Although I didn’t see as much of Paul after moving away decades ago he was always among the core group of guys that I so enjoyed seeing whenever I was in town. Visiting with him a couple months ago I could see how much joy he had talking about his grandson, which was what one expected. He was a great friend and will be dearly missed.
Tommy and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. All the words in the world cannot take the hurt away or make the hole in your heart any smaller. Please know we are all thinking of you and yours at this very difficult time. Be well dear friend.
