Dedicated to the memory of Paul Checkley

Rest In Peace mate..!

My sympathy, thoughts and prayers go to your partner Melrose, your children and familes. I'm floored to read these posts, about you Paul Checkley. My last moments with you were at the Newcastle High School '81-'83-[30th-year reunion], last year (when this photo was taken)...

Paul Checkley.. (as I will remember you mate!).. Rest .In. Peace..16th Jan 2013

...After a great night of catching up on each others lives over the years and lots of laughter, we ended up eating Kebabs together at the nearest T/away (what else do you do in Newcastle at 4:00AM?)......and solving the world's problems...lol! I will treasure those moments...

Paul. I didn't know you as a man - but the times we had at Newcastle High School - I'm filled with fond memories and laughter and of your kindness-of-spirit - a true quality of a gentleman... ((Happy trails mate..!))
