Very sorry to hear the news.

I met and spoke to Paul at length on various Meridian events. He always made time for me and had my utmost respect.

He will be missed.

Martin you have an email from me.
If any other HH forum members have a similar question to Tintin please send me a PM.
For the sake of Paul's young family I wish to be inundated.

I�m very sorry to hear such sad news.

I met Paul five years ago at Meridian HQ. He gave me a very enthusiastic tour around the factory before letting me listen to DSP speakers. He went out of his way to make me feel at home. The visit was most enjoyable because of Paul�s heart-warming hospitality, something which I�ll never forget.

My deepest condolences to Paul�s family, friends and colleagues.

I got a phone call when it happened and have been totally devastated by the suddenness of Paul's passing. He has been in my home I think 5 times delivering speakers & kit for demo & purchase. He liked to hear me play my Johnny Cash collection & said it rekindled a desire to hear more as his dad used to play Cash. Only a month ago he reminded me of his coming up for an evening of Cash. So touched by his warmth, friendliness and dedication to keeping the customer happy, he befriended myself and my wife whom he would hug on arrival and departure.

Following an invite I have told Chris Cope his close colleague at M that I will be attending his funeral. I simply feel the need to support his poor wife and children at such a dreadful time.

Truly a great loss to all that knew and respected this gentle kind man

Paul was instrumental in rebuilding the relationship between Meridian and this community; more so than most folk realize. He was a lovely guy to chat to, and we exchanged a lot of humorous banter via email. I won't say that we were good friends, but that was the direction things were going.

I will remember, in particular, his genuine interest in my opinions and advice regarding all things Meridian and the Forum.

I was lucky to have had dinner with him and a few of his colleagues only a few days before he died, and the news hit me hard.

A great and very untimely loss; my heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family, colleagues and friends.

Hi Alexander,

I must have seen Paul shortly after your Johnny Cash session. Maybe it was Feb @ Bristol or SE launch @ MWL. I can't recall. But just to share with you that Paul was telling us about the Cash session you had. It did please him a lot and, as ever, he was happy to share that.

Many thanks for that Nick. I did take some Cash to the Bristol demos & he used two of the tracks I played "The first time Ever I saw Your Face" & "The Man Comes around" both from American 4 as the main demos to people the rest of the weekend & said it had jumped into his all-time top 20!

Great guy.
Alex

I'm sorry to hear this new, my sincere condolences to his family.

Hello all,

I was at Paul Webb's funeral today ... such a tragic loss ... the ceremony was first class: a real tribute to celebrate Paul's life.

I spoke to many of Paul's family, friends and colleagues and we shared fond memories of him.

There were other Hitchhikers there too, I'll let them share their own thoughts and reflections on the day as they wish.

Regards,
Carl

Thanks Carl. It was indeed a very good ceremony in as much as these things can ever be described as good.

I did give the family a card on behalf of the whole HH community.

Just to add I attended and the entire day was handled sensitively, very glad I had the chance to pay my respects.
