Picture this...
There was an accident involving the crew in Maggie Valley.
Thankfully everyone is going to be okay, but somehow we need to get the bikes home through three states.
A man who is not part of the group that met there, who does not even know the person involved, who doesn't have the means to move the bikes, who is not and does not even live in that state hears that the Florida Crew is in trouble and decides he is not going to let that happen. He borrows a truck and trailer, goes up to the next state and picks up the bikes then drives to South Florida and delivers them to the mans garage personally. This is over a 2000 mile drive and takes three days of his time to accomplish and asks nothing in return for it. Who would do that? Seriously, can you think of anyone on this planet that would do that for someone they don't even know?
Paul would do it. He didn't even hesitate. He heard that our group was in trouble and did what it took to do everything he could to help. I am very proud to have this man as a close personal friend of mine. I'm proud to call him Brother. He knows I will do anything for him but I will say it here: If Paul EVER needs anything I will fight for first place in line to be there for him without hesitation. Not because of what he did for Rusty and his wife or the Florida Crew as a whole but just because he is who he is. I don't know what else to say, it is all overwhelming....
