Our dearest friend Spencer will be missed so much and will always be in our thoughts. Such happy memories we have of our trips to Benidorm and Bournemouth and the laughs we all had together. Your warmness and kindness always made us feel good to be around you when we came over to visit many times to your beautiful homes in Ireland.
Rest in peace Big Man. Love you

Rest in peace paul
It was good to see you again after nearly 60 years. Two little page boys at Tim and Jenny’s wedding – both called Paul. It’s one of my earliest memories. Farewell Sir.
Deepest sympathy on the loss of Paul. You created so many wonderful memories over the years. I hope that in a small way this will help sustain you in the days and years ahead.
We are so very shocked and saddened to hear about the death of Paul. We have very fond memories of him, his warmth and kindness shone from his big heart. He was especially kind to my late father who had the highest regard for Paul.
Sending love and condolences to Paul’s family who are in our thoughts at this very sad time.
Rest in perfect peace Paul.

Dearest Brenda, Michael, Hannah & family
Our sincere condolences to you all. We were so shocked and saddened to hear this very sad news.
Although we haven’t seen Paul for many years, he and Stephen always got on so well, and Stephen has many fond memories of him. Paul always made him laugh – as you know, he was so witty and clever.
Our thoughts are with you all at this very difficult time. Sending our love and deepest sympathy.

Sincere condolences to Brenda, Hannah, and Michael on the sad passing of Paul. May he rest in peace. Thinking of you all and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
Our sincere condolences to Brenda, Hannah, Michael, and the Spencer family.
Cousin Paul was a big part of my childhood (and Nick, my brother), and I have lots of happy memories of us growing up together and seeing each other at family gatherings in Manchester, playing chess (badly), and hearing the stories of what it was like being a little older than us, venturing out and having adventures in Manchester. It sounded so cool to us youngsters.
I’ll always remember Paul buying my Mazda MX-5 from me before moving to Ireland. The most fun car I ever had and I was delighted that it went to someone who would enjoy it as much as I did.
Although we didn’t see each other as often as the years went by, those early family memories have stayed with me. Thinking of everyone who loved Paul at this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Paul.

Paul was an incredibly warm individual full of kindness and a fantastic sense of humour. He will be dearly missed. Rest in peace x
Dear Brenda, Hannah, Michael and family I was so sad and shocked for the loss of Paul.
I hope all the wonderful memories you have will help sustain you through this difficult time.
I certainly have very fond memories of our many family holidays and get togethers over the years.
Sending love.
Sincere condolences to Auntie Brenda and Hannah and Michael.
Uncle Paul was such a huge part of my childhood always cracking jokes and making everything more fun. (And poking fun at my dad, Peter) We didn’t see each other as much in later years, but I’ll always remember how funny he was and how much he made me laugh when I was little. But also how kind and caring he was. Thank you for all the good memories.
Your marriage to Auntie Brenda is something so very special.
Rest in peace.
