I am Claire Armstrong, Paul's partner of 23 years and I am most touched and grateful to all the lovely comments.
Paul's funeral is Wednesday 19th Dec at 12:30 at Inverness Crematorium, should you wish to attend.
I know that he has many supporters here.
Having spoken to the Doctors further, our conclusion is that he had another heart attack. He died almost instantly and was unlikely to have known anything about it. He was due to have a triple by-pass in Jan. He had weakened in the last week, but claimed he was fine.
It will take me forever to come to terms with his loss.
I intend to try to get the website published, and try to keep his brilliant work going. It may take a while, for me to get to grips with everything, so please try to be patient with me. I cannot give you Paul's intelligence or his word ability, but I will try my very best.
Thank you all for the wonderful times that you have given him, in debates and the many discussions.
I have every bit of passion about driving as Paul had, and we had thousands of driving discussions.

Roger, an administrator of Safspeed, requests that everyone who has subscriptions, or who wants to make a donation, to cancel their current subscription and reroute their generosity as per below. We need this message to be spread to everyone:

I need your help here (on behalf of Claire actually!).

Money that goes in to Paul's account will be sequestrated.

...

She has asked that this (along with the transcript below from PH) be
spread around the usual places, inviting people who have standing orders
presently going to Paul to swap them to her account.

Thanks

Roger

The Safespeed website is running really, really slow. Please try not to surf it until it is fixed because site admin need all of whatever bandwidth is available. We’re trying to sort it.

Thank you.

Is it really wise to display her bank account details on a public forum?

Shouldn't be a problem what so ever. All you can do with a sort code and account number is pay money in.

I'd be more worried that the numbers got changed so that someone else received any money, though maybe that was your point....

Smeggy,

My subscription is monthly via PayPal, do I need to stop that?

Cheers

Hiya.

Yup. Please follow the instruction in the email I've just sent (which I hope you received)

PS, the site is back up. Hopefully it will stay up.

I think you need to change the bank detail so it go into right account Liebchen .


We paid up in full.. - it due I think next month for Ted (Mad Doc) und month or so after for me.. but we will simply pay a-new into this account.


We will donate lump sum from whole family into this account. It will then be a "reasonable amount" to mark respect for liebsten Paulie whom I respected very much - not just on these chat fora.. but in person over the telephone chatting over this und that.. Am not very good with computers. I have admin staff who punch a keyboard for me after I have "messed around with various stuff" not then get the same easy expertise with these computers which have "monthly blues" every other day .. so it seem to me Paulie helped me und Mad Doc sort out a hiccup once or twice. He so calm ... methodical.. helpful to us.


We also want to match this amount as mark of respect in memory of Paul - und made fully as token of respect (in his name) to commemorate his life to the British Heart Foundation - but if Claire has some other fund in mind which Paulie supported - then it go to that one - again making clear that it made to commemorate his name und life. This other charity und aid to Claire (BFH seem the most logical under circumstances) would be in lieue of flowers.


I think perhaps Claire would be best helped if everyone on this board who cared for Paul.. his achievements or just generally liked him as the person he came across as - regardless of whether they agreed with him or not - donated the cost of a decent bouquet to his campaign fund or even split 50/50 with the campaign fund und charity of choice. That way this man's life continue to achieve after his passing und this would seem to be a very fitting tribute to a person who tried to help us get back our lovely policemen und general common sense values.
