The Passing of Paul Winterton

[FunElan]

Damnit. Our community has taken some hits lately. RIP Paul, thank you for imparting your knowledge here.

RIP Paul.

Paul’s Tii was always my reference point for my own car, such a shame, I enjoyed his posts and sage advice. RIP Paul.

Heartbreaking. I loved Paul’s knowledge and his willingness to share, and his car was immaculate. I remember being at Wes Ingram’s shop years ago and seeing a pump that had Paul’s name on it, I thought it was so cool to be so close to something being worked on to go on that car. 
 

Feels like the sun is a bit dimmer today, but the stars are a bit brighter.

Paul was a true enthusiast, passionate about his hobby (tii), and an all around great guy. Had many opportunities over the years to swap tips, parts, and ideas about our cars, the latest being how to increase the release pressure of our tii fuel injectors. He took that and ran with it of course, achieving 500+ psi per injector using the mind set and skill set, in my opinion, of a Swiss watchmaker. That was Paul. Pursued perfection and always with great photo documentation so the rest of us could emulate. Sorry you're gone Paul. Rest in peace.

Another loss, not only to the '02 community, but to all his other friends and family.  He was one of the '02ers I had hoped to meet someday, even though we were from (nearly) opposite ends of the country.  

 

Two of my high school classmates passed away in the last two weeks; i guess that's what happens when you get to a "certain age."  So cherish your friends now--and make new ones.

So sad. RIP Paul. You will be missed dearly.

Very sad news indeed.  Paul was always so helpful to me even though we had never met.  His car was one I used as a standard to meet.  All my best to his family and friends.

Godspeed Paul…

Truly disheartening,

Many blessings to his family and friends.

Just terrible news. I always enjoyed Pauls posts and was impressed with the quality of his work.

His work was one of the benchmarks  and inspired me to get in the garage and work on my 02.

Not more than a week ago I bookmarked his thread for a winter project.
