Goodbye Paul
Paul Doquile. "A life lived in pursuit of love, beauty and art," a naughty, artful street performer with a gypsy smile ... Cafe conversations about writing plays and babies who become teenagers just like that: my memory of you. Fly, my beauty!
Lovely words Sarah. I didn't know him but his illness and death sure has rocked the small Denmark community. Daryl from the music shop also left the planet on the weekend. Another youngun'
thanks Barbara, I saw Paul about two months ago and had no idea he was so ill. It's strange to think about last goodbyes in the way of a passing conversation. But he was a big man in spirit and always around and chose Denmark as his ground for a good part of his life. We will miss him.
I have only known you for a couple of months back in 1989 when I stayed in your place in Leederville Perth while working in Fremantle. I was a young Dutch boy searching for himself and found in you a truly great and musical friend who dared to be different. I did not know until now that you passed away. This is a real shocker. May you rest in peace and thanks for your kindness, friendship, sense of humor and much, much more.
