I ...I was thinking of Paul today, I still miss him. I can't believe it has been 10 years. <br /><br />I knew him in Brighton, where our paths crossed so many times we decided it would be easier and quicker to become good friends instead of waiting to bump into each other again. <br /><br />My girlfriend at the time (another Yeovil refugee) and I were the witnesses - and only guests - at the first wedding between him and Sasha (the 'oh-shit-the-visa-is-running-out' wedding). I'd only texted him to tell him my new phone number, so I wasn't expecting a reply which offered me such a large supporting role in their story. I was happy to help in one of Paul's unconventional adventures; there had been plenty before and I expected there to be plenty more. <br /><br />The last time I saw him was at the naming ceremony for a mutual friend's daughter. In typical Paul style he had decided to challenge the contemporary orthodoxy that fairy godmothers are female. His unshaven face and generous body hair clashed a little with the small pink dress and tiara. But the magic wand suited him very well. <br /><br />Paul brought a little touch of magic into all our lives. I still miss him.

We are making a short, non-profit, documentary regarding the Pirate Legacy in Deptford, London. We have acknowledged that you are familiar with Paul Hendrich, and his the uncovering of the history of Deptford.<br /> <br />Synopsis:<br />The statues of the 'Naval Heroes', inscribed on the façade of the Deptford Town hall commemorates capitalism, colonialism, and slavery. Further to this, Paul Hendrich, a former Goldsmiths student, attempted to reclaim Deptford Town hall, a Goldsmiths building since 1997, back to the hands of the community. Hendrich’s fascination with the issue of borders, along with the foundation of a ‘pirate society’ at the university, brought to the surface the hidden history of Deptford. By capturing historical urban landscapes, local stories, and real voices, we aim to open up the discussion, once started by Hendrich, and bring to the surface the pirate legacy, which make Deptford what it is today. We would like to talk to Paul's wife, Sasha, in respect of the film and how Paul's work have inspired us. Please, email me on pa101gr@gold.ac.uk. Thank you so much for your help.

He taught me a number of things I'd never notice like how to appreciate music and art. He put so much hard effort into his work, and the children he worked with adored him. He was always an inspiration to me. I wish he could see his daugher now. She's so beautiful. Uncle Paul, you'll never be forgotten. You'll always be in our hearts. I miss you. <br />-Alice Bloomfield.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650332.post-84437736445457476762008-01-25T00:09:00.000+00:002008-01-25T00:09:00.000+00:00I went to school with Paul.

I know all the Union team are gutted by his passing as indeed are all those involved here at No Pain In Pop. He will be missed and I am told that through the Union and members of his department his work will be continued.Tom Painhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727487064799715469noreply@blogger.com
