Re: Life Sucks

When someone you know passes without warning, it is a reminder to the rest of us to tell your friends how much you appreciate them, and tell loved ones how much you love them...while you still can. If you are a member of Paul's family reading this, you should know he was a beloved fixture of this site. He had a lot of friends here.

Re: Life Sucks

F'n SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone on this site realizes that after his heart surgery he still did his best to supply us with all the information he could.

He stood up for himself and gained a lot of followers by just being himself.
I loved his sense of humor (Once we PM'd a bit), his Alfred E Newman in Joker makeup avatar and his stepping up and helping any way he could.

You will be sorely missed my one friend I never met but enjoyed messing and talking with.

You will be sorely missed!

You need worry no more.

All my condolences to your family.


I agree that if Anurism can set up a fund for his family on site, I am sure a lot will contribute.

In Paul's memory I am going to post these test charts that I got from him years ago. He could be damn generous. My condolences to his family and friends.

Re: Life Sucks

Only just seen the posts about Paul's passing and totally shocked, I just don't get on here as much anymore.

I only had a small interaction with him on the manuals side but when in the forums was always on the look out for some of the inevitable threads where you thought "Oh wait till Paul sees this..." and ineveratbly he did and it was popcorn time! But whatever happened he always came across to me as fair and as someone who wanted to help.

The forum isn't going to be the same without him. RIP Paul.

Re: Life Sucks

Karen Epstein Fusco has reported on Pauls Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pgelsman?fref=hovercard

Friends of Paul, it is with great sadness that we must share news of Paul's death. He passed away on Wednesday, August 13, 2014. He will be missed by many, and his Facebook page will be kept open as a memorial to the life he lived. We invite you to join us in honoring Paul with your favorite stories and memories of your times together.

For those in Philadelphia, we will be having a graveside service on Sunday, August 17th, and will be sitting shiva after. If you are interested in attending either the service or shiva, please send a private message to Karen Epstein Fusco for the times and addresses.
With love,
Karen

OMG! this is sad news, may his gentle soul rest in peace.

Re: Life Sucks

We should come up with a test chart using Paul's avatar and maybe something else on it.

The database of manuals he had saved my ass more than once.

CTN people could take turns at being admin for his manuals4you website. It would allow CTN to run in the black without donations.
One way to honour the mans efforts and dedication.

Also, I would like to see a change to his avatar - a black sash with a RIP.

Re: Life Sucks

I just tried Justmanuals.com and it is no longer in operation. Karen Fusco posted the following there.

It is with great sadness that I must share news of my partner Paul Gelsman's untimely passing.
He died on Wednesday, August 13, 2014.

Paul was the owner and operator of Justmanuals.

Unfortunately, his site must now be laid to rest also.
There is no one to continue this venture and justmanuals.com will be coming down
permanently in the very near future.

I hope you are able to find other sources for manuals and I thank you
on Paul's behalf for all your support in the past.

Thank you slimslob and Karen for posting; I do miss him (which I don't know how to explain).

Re: Life Sucks

Did not see this. Very sad. Luckily there is a creator. There is a heaven.

Ever doubt this, relax and suspend your disbelief. Consider the complexity and "programming" it takes for single cell to function and replicate. Think we evolved from apes? Think of Beethoven, DaVinci, think of the acient pyramids and cathedrals. Consider the diversity of life and creatures that defy evolution. Like the Cuttlefish.

God Bless Paul!

Very sad indeed! i've not been seeing his posts of late and quietly wondering as to why? I even thought that the 'ever changing business landscape' had probably pushed him out of business. It's really sad, we shall miss him a lot. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
