No sense trying to repeat it all, here’s the link to the discussion on the MOA forum. Bottom line; he’s having quite a hard time in the hospital. Please check this out and send good thoughts his way:

Paul was one of the co-chairs for the rally this year (posted about a billion day rides here on the forum) and is just an all-around enthusiastic guy. I really hope he pulls through quickly.
The effort that Paul put into the rally this year was amazing. Prayers for a full and swift recovery.
Unfortunately, Paul never regained consciousness and died Thursday evening. The M/C community has suffered a irreplaceable loss and many of us who knew him now have a big hole in their hearts where Paul used to live. Knowing him, he’s probably soliciting donations for the first Big Gig in Heaven!
Paul’s address: 145 Juniper Dr., Ballston Spa, NY 12020. I know his wife Judy and daughters Patty and Pam would really appreciate your personal notes and memories of Paul.
The family wanted to update everyone on the arrangements to honor Paul.
We will be having a private funeral and burial this week. In a few weeks, we
will be having a memorial celebration that we would love to see all of his
friends at. Dad always said he wanted to have a big party and that is what we
are going to do.In lieu of flowers we are asking for donations to the Pediatric Brain Tumor
Foundation, a charity Dad was very passionate about. You may reach their website

Judy, Pam and Patty
