Paul DUDLEY Obituary

I will never forget this funny, mischievous and lovingly protective man. From the early starts at the Schooner to the late night feeds at Li´l Abs; from push starting his numerous cars to being out-fished, out driven in golf and getting thrashed by him in a series of fitness tests......and then there were the Bowie concerts!

The highlight of many a week for us was just hanging out with Paul and Geraldine - chatting and listening to music while their beautiful whanau came and went. Great memories.

I think of Paul every day. "Wish you were here".

B

Will forever be in our thoughts Heart's and prayers Till we all meet up in the Stars.
You were the Best Paul Love always Carleen.

You told me on my birthday "I hope you are happy". I promise i will be xx

I still can't believe I won't see you again.
It's surreal...dream like.
You came into my life as a child and showed me the meaning of a Father and provider. I was loved and have so many good memories.
It was so hard to buy you a birthday present as you literally wanted nothing ,but to provide for us. You always helped me with my homework and drove me to the train everyday in Papakura. As an adult when you would visit me you would get the tools out to fix things around my house.
I wish I was able to see you more before the end. But Paul I will see you when we meet again. Farewell and bliss be the travels on the spiral journey home, to the source.

Is it a kind of dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh, is it a dream?

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,Must give us pause.

Love you Paul miss you so much xx

Even though I don't have alot of memories with you left, I know one thing and that is that the fundamentals of who you were will never leave me.
You were the definition of a 'cup of concrete'..
and the ingredients of the concrete were love, family and dedication. RIP Paul you will never be forgotten.

Standing above the crowd
He had a voice that was strong and loud
We'll miss him
We'll miss him

I miss you and I'm so upset that I'll never get to talk to you again

Shine on you crazy diamond
Come on you raver, you seer of visions
Come on you builder, you painter, you legend, and shine xx

Think of me sometimes
But not too much
Leave me in peace
And I shall leave you in peace
And while you live
Let your thoughts be with the living
