My thoughts, prayers and love are sent to Paul’s family. I have been privileged to know the Jeffries family since childhood - through Bethany Baptist Church, neighbourhood and school. I knew Paul really through my close friendship with Janet. He always struck me as a calm rock of support for Janet, and all his family. He was a warm, approachable man with a gentle humour. He had the patience of a saint putting up with the LGCM crowd cramming into his lounge (!); he was there in the background making people feel welcome. I didn’t know of his musical talents until Janet told me about him having a drum kit for his (? 60th) birthday...but banished to the loft! I was quite envious as always fancied myself as a Ringo...but Paul had numerous talents. Much of his good work was ‘behind the scenes’ and his kindness touched more lives than he probably realised. I pray is now at peace. God bless him X
