He will be missed here. May he RIP and his family know that he is no longer in any type of pain. He left huge shoes to be filled here as well.

Terrible news. Rest in peace Paul.
Terribly sorry to hear the news. My utmost condolences to the friends who knew him and the family of Paul (Upman).
Cancer is one hell of a "black death" and I've lost so many friends and family to that God awful disease. As was posted prior, F&*% cancer!

Rest in Peace for Paul as he tried as hard as he could. Thanks for all he did for us in the radio reference speaking up for us on a normal basis now and will not be forgotten.
RIP Paul. Condolences to his family and friends. The scanning community has lost its most well-known advocate and innovator.
So sad he was great around here and to many people
RIP, Paul. I’ll miss seeing your avatar change and the discussion that followed about it’s meaning.

I dont come on the site much, haven’t beeen on here in awhile, but was on Facebook yesterday, and heard about this from The Scanner Guys post, and wanted to come on here and say, that I’m very sorry to hear about this, RIP Paul, and my prayers go out to his Friends and family.
Sad to hear this news. RIP Paul.
Paul will long be considered a towering figure in our hobby who cared so much about the product he and the Uniden team developed; but I will remember him most as a hardworking, kind, creative, friend with a great sense of humor who waged a valiant, inspiring fight against a terrible disease. My condolences to all Paul's friends and family.

Damn shame. RIP Paul.
As a Uniden newbie, I only recently became aware of Paul's presence across these boards. While never having corresponded with him I was impressed by his knowledge and demeanor. He will be missed.
Was Paul a HAM? Didn’t know if he would be a “silent key”.
This really sux on so many levels.
(Am I the only one who hopes the guy who hit his car in the parking lot, gets caught and prosecuted? Some people are ridiculous.) And his mother was in the car with him as well.
