Hi, I'm Andrew Williams - the guy who originally posted the message about Paul being ill on the LMBP, just because he asked me to let people know not to expect him back too soon. To be honest, I didn't think this much detailed information about his illness would be around the internet so quickly, and to be honest I think it's inappropriate. I would have preferred for only his friends to know how serious his condition is. He's not dead yet and it's not appropriate for everyone to be acting like he is.
However, it's true that his condition isn't getting any better.
Thanks for all your good wishes though. I'll pass them on to his family.
I'll let you know when his condition changes.

CK this must be a terrible time for you, unfortunately I can relate after watching a very close friend have a very saddening death from cancer two years ago. To this day I still find myself thinking "I must tell Amanda....." and I've only recently wiped her number off my mobile's memory.
Although you haven't lost your friend yet it is clear from your posts that you are afraid you are away to. I sincerely wish I could say something here that could ease that for you.

I was lucky enough to know him for years in "real life" and when I saw the posts of support and good wishes on here they meant a very great deal.
Paul still is one of the best, loveliest and most super special people I've ever, ever known. And I know that everyone who was lucky enough to be friends with him, online or otherwise, thinks the same.

And he's been lucky to have a decent friend like you.

As you all know Paul (who posted on here as Looks That Kill Lad) has been seriously ill for a while. Sadly, after being in a stable condition for 9 days, he deteriorated rapidly and died last night.
Paul fought his illness with immense courage and dignity and we should all be extremely proud of him for that. Even after he was given a bleak prognosis he remained extremely brave and was a support to those around him as much as everyone tried to be for him.
I’m sure everyone here who got to know him whether in real life or online will understand what a very special, funny, thoughtful and genuinely lovely person Paul was.
He’ll be very greatly missed.
-Andrew

Paul was a wonderful person. I was convinced that he'd pull through. This seems unreal.
I'm going to miss reading his e-mails and posts. Please tell his family what an important impact he had on all of us.

I truly am at a loss for words. Expecting the worst has done little to prepare me for this tragic loss. I will miss his presence, both on the boards and behind the scenes.
Paul was an amazing person, and I cherish every moment that we had.
