Hi All,
I was shocked to hear today that Paul Clawson (PutPut) has passed away last october (19th) at the age of 82.
As far as I understand from a sudden heartattack, in his home in Longbeach, California.
I was informed by Dutch family of his wife Jenny.
Paul was a very active member of the flightsim community, and designed/contributed loads of excellent freeware aircraft and ships, especially from the WW1&2 era.
See these forums and the library here.
Besides that, Paul was a very kind and helpfull person.
I worked closely with Paul on one of his project (the Corsair Pogo for FS9), for which he asked me to design a VTOL-like solution.
Since then, I had many conversations with Paul and we exchanged a lot of design idea's.
I even met Paul twice IRL, when he was visiting his wife's family in the Netherlands.
(they did that every 4-5 years, and had plans to come over next year again).
As I understand, no one has access to his PC anymore, so if one of you had pending conversations with him, you now know why.
My deepest respect and condolances to his wife Jenny and other family.
R.I.P. Paul .......
You'll be missed very much !!
Regards,
Rob Barendregt
