Paul was FTO to William (Bill) Yates, who was riding beside him in that fatal crash. The young man they were pursuing affected many lives that day. Bill retired from FDLE and passed away last year. He never forgot Paul and spoke of him fondly. A big guy with a big heart! Rest in peace Paul. Bill and Richard Shockley have now gone to join you in that special heaven reserved for our LEO heros.
