Rest In Peace Paul Boland

I have long considered Paul a treasured member of the community, and am sorry to hear of his death. I agree with your characterisation of him as humble and kind. He was such a great guy, and someone I'll miss. Paul was one of the people who I had the pleasure of meeting at the 2007 Click Convention (finally having a chance to interact in person with the man who I knew from the Clickteam Forums). Outside that, I felt like I got to know him from his Convention Reports and his record of having visited the set of Knightmare. I admired his passion and ability and willingness to share it.

This is very sad news.
I never met Paul in person but I felt as if I had.
We had so many great conversations over the years.
He will be missed, rest in peace Paul.

Very sad news.. Met the guy a number of times at the click convention and he was great, his passion for making games was amazing. In fact myself and my son were just talking about the Caretaker game and whether he was going to remake it again the other day.

I'm so very sad to hear this.

Paul was one of the first persons I had the pleasure to run into at the the earliest Click Convention I attended.

He was a long time member of the community, this forum and a tireless creator of games.
Besides ChrisStreet, Paul was one of the community members to have attended the most conventions, and his gentle nature will surely be missed.

To a long time friend. I will see you on the other side. Until then...rest. The forum has lost a great person.

Oh man! Very sad news.

It's a really sad news... I didn't meet him in person, but for a long time I read his posts here.

Rest in peace, Paul.

Rest in peace, Paul.

Very sad news. Rest in peace, Paul

Very sad news, Paul was such a nice guy. The Clickteam conventions wouldn't have been the same without him, and I was hoping to meet him again some day. He'll be missed.

Really sorry to hear that, I never talked to Paul, but it's still sad to lose someone sharing the same passion on the same place.
Rest in Peace, and all my thoughts for his family.

Sad to hear that, I always admired his ability to grind and take a project all the way from start to finish, a rare skill. Rest in Peace Paul.

sad news indeed

Rest in peace, Paul.

very, very sad news - rest in peace

I'll miss him. Without Paul, the first convention wouldn't have happened. The idea began because we wanted to meet this guy who produced such amazing games! When Francois said he was going to come too, that was an added bonus

Very, very sad news indeed. This is a terrible start to 2021. Knight Trek will forever be with us!

Sad to hear these awful news... Rest in peace, Paul.

OK, I've shed some tears and slept on it, so here's a better send off:

Paul inspired thousands of gamers worldwide with his open hearted, infectious enthusiasm and his technical brilliance. A truly lovely man, who will leave a huge hole in our hearts. He just was. His posts on the forum brought peace and a welcome to everyone. Not just useful information and great examples, but a compelling invitation to join in and belong.
