My condolences to BiblioCat and Paul’s family.
Very sad news. I am truly sorry for your loss, BiblioCat.
I am very, very sorry to hear about this, BiblioCat. I too had no idea he was troubled in the way he was. He seemed like such an all-around good guy and I can very easily see him living the type of life you describe. He and I have had several nice interchanges here and on Domebo and I will truly miss him around here. My thoughts and condolences go out to you and to his daughter, and to his cats as I imagine they miss him as well. What a shame!
I’m so sorry to hear this. RIP danceswithcats.
BiblioCat, I am so sorry to hear this. You and his other loved ones are in my thoughts.
I’m very sorry for your loss and what you’re going through, BiblioCat, and the same thing for his family. I never knew things were so bad.
I’ll update the In Memoriam thread soon.
Well there’s an afternoon gut-punch. You’ll be missed, dwc…
Good lord, I don’t even know what to say. This is terrible shocking news. 
My chief memory of danceswithcats was courtesy of a Doperball thread in which he and I were among the most prolific participants. At one point, he sent me an off-board message to comment about some topic that had arisen during the game. I don’t remember if I responded, although I believe I didn’t. Still, I felt I knew him a bit, and feel diminished by his passing.
Hope you find a way to cope with the shock, BiblioCat.
Mundane, Pointless Stuff, my fucking ass.
You’ve found Peace, 'cats. Rest now, rest easy.
I had no idea! I’m really kind of bummed about this. I mean, I only knew him thru the boards, not irl, but … damn…
I’m so sorry BiblioCat. Paul seemed to be a very good man and I can’t imagine how deeply the loss will be felt. I hope he rests now in peace.
Oh, man. Oh, manohmanohman. Biblio, don’t beat yourself up with “what-ifs”. It isn’t your fault, and if he was this bad there’s nothing you could have done short of involuntary commitment, and I have my doubts that would have helped, either.
I wish I could hug you right now. I wish I could have hugged him back in June, to tell him that no matter what, many many people loved him and enjoyed his company (there’s MY “what-if”). I’ll miss his sense of humour, his honesty and integrity, and his rock-hard practicality.
Call or message me if you need anything, hon. I can lend you a place to stay for a bit if you don’t want to be alone right now.
Farewell, Paul. You were loved, and you’ll be missed.
I’m so, so sorry to hear this, bibliocat. Paul was always such a sweet guy. It’s a shame that none of us will ever have the chance to see him again, and a bigger shame that things for him were harder on the inside than he let on to most of us.
I’m so sorry for your loss, BiblioCat, and for that of his daughter, other family, firehouse, and friends. danceswithcats was a cool poster around here.
The photo of you together is beautiful and sunny. It’s too bad that the darkness overcame the sun in his life.
Oh, God, BiblioCat. I’m so sorry. So so sorry.
Biblio, please please please don’t blame yourself. Unless you were a trained psychiatrist and he was your patient (in which case, you wouldn’t be dating) you couldn’t have stopped this. I’m sure the time he spent with you and his daughter were the bright spots in his life, but sometimes, if the ones we love aren’t willing to tackle their problems, we can’t force them to get help.
Farewell, danceswithcats. I hope you’ve found peace now.
I’m terribly sad to hear this. Please accept my deepest condolences.
That might have been my one PA Dopefest as well. That’s certainly where I met him, and met you, Ben. He was a good guy, affable and engaging.
My heartfelt condolences to you, BiblioCat. I’m so sorry to hear of Paul’s passing.
I hope you found the peace you sought, danceswithcats. We will all miss you.
