RIP
Someone in tesco asked if I was Paul the other week, so people were obviously vigilantly looking out for him - unfortunate for the family (and him) that it ended this way.

I saw the news on boards.ie last night but hoped it wasn't true.

I never met Paul but judging from what I've read on boards and facebook, he was a really nice guy.

Rest in peace, Paul.

RIP Paul.

Thoughts go out to his family and friends.

In time these words will hopefully be of some comfort.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Very sad news.

I only ever talked to him a handful of times but even just from those brief exchanges it was obvious what a nice, decent person he was.

RIP Paul.

Although I didn't really know him, I knew him to see. I've talked to him a couple of times and knew from the first time he was a good person.

My prayers to his family and friends.

I've seen a ton of posts on trace irelands fb page from people who were brought there from paul. I know its hard to see the light from the dark when the news is this black but paul/pyg has done a huge amount to raise awareness for missing people in ireland and i think a lot of people are shocked at the amount of people who do go missing. Maybe because of paul someone will be saved someday. As i said i know this won't be a comfort to his family now, and i'm so deeply sorry for what they are going through, i just hope this could b a comfort someday....

RIP Paul really wished i could give you a hug now, even though i had never met you-you def sound like my sort of person! Friendly, down to earth, genuine...i hope you can see the huge amount of people who would give anything to give you a hug...and i hope and pray you are at peace now. God bless xxx

So sorry to hear this. I guess that his family and friends must have hugely mixed emotions - relief at being able to bring him home, devastation at it being the wrong way. I'm gutted for them.

Absolutely tragic news to hear, I've heard nothing but nice things about the lad all around campus.

Thoughts and well wishes are going out to all of his family and friends, and I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

May he rest in peace.

I do not believe there is anything worse in this world, than losing a child.
I thoroughly enjoyed Paul's posts in the Atheism & Agnosticism forum.
My heart goes out to his family.

Just to echo what Beruthiel said -- Paul was a witty, clever and valued contributor over in the Atheism and Agnosticism forum. I never met him outside of boards, but his contributions will be missed, as he himself will be missed.

My sincere condolences to his family.

I would like to add my condolences on this thread too. Someone's passing so young with their life ahead of them is always a tragedy no matter the circumstances.

I would advocate bereavement counselling services for his family and friends if/when you feel the time is right. The Samaritans can be contacted on 1850 60 90 90 and those who I've spoken to found them to be excellent.

May he R.I.P.

My heart goes out to his family. I know Paul's brother quite well and it was absolutely awful to see him going through this over the last few weeks. I only met Paul once but from that one meeting he seemed like a lovely genuine chap, much like the rest of his family. R.I.P.

That piece is lovely and I hope that Paul knew how much his friends at college (and obviously his family) loved him and cherished their time with him.

The how and the why is absolutely irrelevant to the fact that there is a huge hole in the lives of a lot of people now.

I sincerely hope his family and friends have the support they need to get through their grief at this incredibly tough time in their lives.

Didn't know Paul, but shared the search effort on fb and twitter etc. Really really hoped he would be found alive and well. By all accounts he seemed like someone I would have been friends with. At the very least his family might have some closure now.

RIP my fellow boardsie.

As per the title, respectful posts only please.

This is not the time or the place to speculate. Paul's family and friends are regular visitors to this thread, and hopefully they can take some small level of comfort from the condolences being conveyed.

When posting, assume you are speaking directly to his family when you judge what best to say.

My Sincere sympathy to his family, I hope they have all the support they need. As a fairly regular visitor to Fibbers, I became aware of Paul being missing one Saturday night and have been thinking of him since then, it seems many different groups of people will miss Paul. Rest in Peace

Thank you all for your lovely, kind words. Paul's brother and I appreciate them so much. They are some comfort at this dreadful time.

My little boy is no longer suffering. We will lay him to rest on Thursday and he will be at peace.

I knew Paul from Fibbers and that sort of thing. He was a funny, witty, intelligent, kind guy. I'll never forget him laughing at my stupid comments on some nights out when I was too tipsy to speak intelligently.

Wexlady, my thoughts are with you and your family, and all of the rest of Paul's friends. I think anyone who knew him can agree that he was a fantastic guy, and none of us had enough time with him.

Wexlady44, I am so sorry for you and your family's huge loss. I only got to meet Paul in person on a couple of occasions but he was a lovely guy; very witty, intelligent and friendly. The posts about Paul on both this thread and the thread in the Clearasil & Hormones forum reflect what a great person he was. I hope that it will bring you some little comfort to know how well thought of he was and how many peoples' lives he touched.

My deepest condolences to all of Paul's family and friends. R.I.P.
