I just thought I'd let you guys know my friend and fellow Olds enthusiast Paul Tumolo A.K.A. MY442 passed away in october. I know some of you know him here. I hadn't spoke to Paul since late August and I recently got my motor back and wanted to show him. I texted him yesterday with no response and one thing lead to another and I found out about his passing. I met Paul in the late 90s when I sold him an OAI hood for his car and we have been friends ever since. I called him 5 yrs ago right after I got my recent project to show him and he came over and we checked it out together, He sold me some Olds stuff and 5 real nice SS1 wheels that I plan to put on my car. We used to text periodically, me with questions maybe and him to check progress on my project. Paul worked at the GM plant in Framingham back in the 70s and had number of cars over the years. He put Oldsmobiles together on the line and had a lot of knowledge. He was very smart, meticulous and always eager to help a friend. I looked forward to show him my project once done. He was a good friend and fellow Olds enthusiast. I will miss him.

Sorry to hear of Pauls passing. Condolences to his family and friends.

I hate hearing that. Having worked in an assembly plant Paul had a great perspective on how things actually happened. If Paul said it, I trusted his information.

RIP Oldsmobile man.

Respect and wishes for a safe passage for Paul. His words were never peripheral babbling, no bs and no excuses. Sympathy to his family and friends.

That's really sad. I corresponded with Paul quite a bit, especially when I lived in Quincy. He put together a great list for a 4 speed conversion that I still post for people to use to this day. He was a great resource.
