Grinding Down readers,
Melanie here – Paul’s wife.
I am writing to let you know that Paul lost his valiant, though short, battle with cancer on Wednesday 6/26. He very much enjoyed writing the haikus and game reviews on this blog and I thank you for your support of Paul.

I’m really, really sorry to hear this… Sending you and the family my thoughts right now… Hugs from Brazil.
That’s incredibly sad news – my condolences go out to you. I loved reading Paul’s stuff – I’m going to miss him a great deal. I’m so sorry.
