The Ford Barn

I just received a call from Mr Paul’s brother informing me of the sad news that Robert Paul has passed.

Several years ago I sent a large carton of shocks to be rebuilt and the box along with my info was in his shop. These were several randomly acquired and in unknown condition - I was hoping to get a good set out of them - but I had since purchased the newly manufactured shocks and had no need of them. I told the brother to not go to the expense to return them. I had sent them right after Robert’s shop had been burgled, which was 3 or 4 years ago IIRC. The brother doesn’t want to get dozens of calls looking for shocks, but I assume he’s going through the records and will contact anyone who had left work there.

Another good man gone. RIP, Mr Paul.
