PAULFARRIS.ORG WEBSITE REBUILDING IS UNDERWAY!

JANUARY 2024 – THE PAUL FARRIS WEBSITE SUFFERED A MASSIVE CRASH, WITH MOST PAGES LOST. WE ARE UNSURE WHETHER IT CAN BE RESTORED OR IF IT WILL NEED TO BE REBUILT. IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE VISIT PURSUITFORCHANGE.ORG TO FIND SOME OF PAUL’S STORIES. AND CONTACT US IF YOU WANT PAUL’S PHOTOS OR MUSIC.

MAY THERE ALWAYS BE MUSIC AND LIGHT IN YOUR LIFE

November 2, 2023 is our 17th missed birthday. Happy 40th Paul.

Taken Away Too Soon

This website is a place you can visit and reflect about Paul, about the frailty of life or whatever else matters to you. In August of 2017 we converted the standalone PaulFarris.org website to this subdomain.

We use this and our PursuitForChange.org sites to tell Paul’s story and to advocate for significantly safer police pursuits, because if simple judgment had been used on May 27, 2007, Paul would still be alive.

Paul positively affected many people during his short life and that continues after his death. His spirit will live with us forever. We continue to do everything that Paul expects of us, and we hope that you will too.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_text_separator title=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=”32″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”http://www.pursuitforchange.org/”][vc_column_text]’Police pursuits, for the most part, are merely a passing newspaper story or television headline, forgotten by readers and viewers a few minutes later. But for the hundreds of relatives and thousands of friends of these innocent victims, the pain is real and never goes away. Never.’

10 Birthdays

I live in a different world than many of you. For ten years Roberta and I have taken November 2nd as a remembrance day. As a rest day. Generally as a be-by-ourselves day.

I hear people say that time heals the pain.
Well, it doesn’t. Not even a little bit.
Time does strengthen me.
Time does allow me to hide the hurt so you need not live with it as I do – every day of my life. ~ jgf
