I am Paul's brother and I just want to thank everybody for the wonderful comments they have left. My family has found great comfort in reading them. It means so much to us to know that he has touched so many lives. He loved his cars, and he would rag on me nonstop when I owned an Integra. I miss those days. Paul would constantly tell me stories of his friends, some of whom ive met, some i havent, but I do know this, Paul would be so honored to know how great you guys think of him, and I know he's looking down from Heaven smiling. Thank you so much for your support. It means so much to us.

God Bless,Michael Souder

Good to hear from you Michael.

Please keep in touch, and if there's ANYTHING we can do, individually or as a community, please let me know.

This group mobilizes real well for its own people.

We would be honored. We are also planning on coming to the service in Orlando. You guys have no idea how much you mean to us, and how comforting the things you have written are to us. Thank you guys once again. Paul will be greatly missed by us all.

It's pretty clear that Paul's character and good heart came from home. He helped us and befriended us all in so many ways.. and it's great to see his family come by and say hi. Please know that our deepest sympathies go out to you, and we all will miss him terribly. The far reaching impact he had on so many lives is a tribute to the family he came from.

I've had a blessed life, but in my (thankfully) few moments of pain I always take comfort in something one of my mentors and heroes told me in the worst moment I've ever had...

"Everything happens according to a plan we may never understand... and this too shall pass..."

I dare say there are a great number of people who will live their lives differently after having been touched by Paul. The love and admiration I have seen for him here on NICO in the last few days has truly overwhelmed me... I am stunned by the effect one man can have on so many others...

Same here. I knew how Paul effected me, but I never considered how one person could have had such a positive influence on so many other people. He was a truely great person and it's a shame to see him go.

I guarantee you one thing... Paul's got a turbo 2JZ up in Heaven by now. He was never one to drop his projects.

I enjoyed talking to him and having someone willing to help anyone, anytime. That says alot about Paul's character ... and thusly he will be missed by many.

I know of a project that would make paul proud, boosting his old s14 to the tune of 500whp and thats what I tend to do, and I will keep a full write up on the progress of the 240, we'll miss u paul.
