To Pat and Family Sorry to hear about Paul's Passing. A true gentlemen I had the honour of knowing Paul over 10 years ago when I was the manager at Butlers Reef. I remember he would always come in and say Ozy come over here can you please make me a decent rum. All the girls would never give him a decent rum. Many good times and memories. Talking about soccer then he would stumble home. Kerry and Karen just bought a car the other day and I asked how Paul was. So I'll have a run for you mate.
Cheers my friend Ozy

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
