Well that sucks. He was about my age also with young children right? If 
so, that really sucks.

I remember me and Paul diagnosing why my code ran like crap on his brand 
new AMD rig many many years ago. It took weeks to figure it out, but 
with much patience and laborious testing by him on his side of things we 
eventually figured it out.

Not many are willing to do that I have found in my experience so far. 
Maybe a handful from all over the internet in the past twenty five years 
or so. Paul was a rare one.
