BenB Report post Posted February 27, 2012 Jeffrey - thank you for spreading the word and for the sentiments. Just wanted to confirm that Paul did pass away Friday evening 2/24/2012. I'll be updating his website in the next few days to post some final words that Paul wanted to share with the leather community. If anyone has parting thoughts, words of appreciation, or some good stories to share, please post them here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenB Report post Posted February 28, 2012 It pains me to post this, but here are Paul's last words for the leather world: “I thank everybody I’ve met through these many years for their loyalty. It has been an honor to have met, taught and shared this craft with so many wonderful and creative people. My darling Sue is going to continue on with the feather line and keep the web site going. I hope my knowledge will have ongoing benefit to those who desire to learn our wonderful art and craft.” More from his wife, Karen, is at his website www.paintingcow.com.

JohnBarton Report post Posted February 29, 2012 Paul's lessons have been a huge influence on us this past year. It's a sad day for the community and for his family. He will live on forever though through the lessons he leaves behind for generations of leather workers to come. Godspeed Paul. Paint the sky! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
