Thank you all so much for your prayers and condolences.
There are two services that are open to anyone who wants to celebrate Paul's too short but happy life.--
One is tomorrow Monday at the Pacific View Cemetery in Corona del Mar, CA at noon.
We will also be spreading Paul's ashes at sea the last week of January with another celebration of his short but happy life to follow at the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club in Long Beach. Check my sailing blog for exact date and time. www.gypsylog.blogspot.com If you would like to join us at sea I can make arrangements to get you on an escort vessel. I will post a contact person that will be handling those arrangements.
Regards,
Steve Washburn

Paul was a gift to us all! Steve thank you for sharing him with us this summer. I was given a particularly precious gift during the Boxing day regatta that I would like to pass on to you today. When we rounded the weather mark with Steve and Stevie in front of us and Paul as a C-3 Sabot sailor right next to us I told Paul he was doing a great job and from under the boom on his sabot he poked his head out and gave me a giant beaming smile and a wave of the hand. He was truely having a great day! I was very touched by him that day and will carry this memory forever in my heart. Our loving thoughts are with you today and always.

My son, Matt, sailed with Paul over the summer in the ABYC junior sailing program; he, along with my husband and I, sends his deepest condolences and most sincere sympathy for the passing of your sweet Paul. Your family shall remain in our hearts and prayers.

Our sympathies to you and your family in this time of sorrow. A loss like yours can not be quantified with words, but it is important to know there are people out there who care and understand how much it hurts. Even with this tremendous loss it is important to take stock and be thankful for the time you had with Paul and the joy you gave him through sailing. It is not often parents get the opportunity to share with their child or if they do, take advantage of it, like you did. It is natural to miss him. The love you shared will never fade.
