Our hearts at TA Performance go out Paul Jr, Joy and the entire Pirnat family. Paul was a founding member of team TA back in the day. He will greatly be missed. Through great times with Paul some of us learned that yes, Pepsi cans can fly. Looking forward to seeing Paul & Joy at the track with the S10. We will never forget your father.
My deepest condolences to Paul Jr. and Joy, and family. Always looked forward to seeing Paul and the S10 at the Ohio events. Lost my dad a little over a year ago. I miss him everyday.
R.I.P. My friend, many years of friendship, fun, laughter and " bench racing". a friend that would come by when you needed help, or just stopping by his office to say hello, Paul was there with a smile and firm handshake, cruising the race track on his little dirt bike waving and saying Hi to many friends he had made over the years. Paul, your friendship was true, the fun we had together over the years will be always in my memories. God Bless, God's Speed. Bruce Hunter
Maybe one of the Mods could merge the other thread with this one. http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.p...sibling-uncle-and-friend-today-in-Paul-Pirnat
I didn't want them merged. I posted them in two different areas for a reason. I wanted more people to see the bad news of the passing of Paul. Not everyone looks at the bench and not everyone looks at the race forums. That's the reason for the multiple posts. There is a method to my madness. The family is very thankful to everyones generous thoughts and kind words and Paul would have been touched.
Yeah, I understand. I posted on the one in the Race section, and it didn't seem many people were seeing or answering it. Then I saw the one in the Bench, and another in Help from Above. Paul was a great guy, I always talked to him when I came to Ohio. He will be missed.
Thank you all for your prayers, kind words, funny stories about my dad. RIP pops. Hope to still attend Buick event regardless if we decide to keep or sell the S10.
