It saddened me very deeply to hear of Paul’s passing and I apologise for the delay in leaving a message here. I worked for Paul as his PA for two years at Barclays and what struck me most about him was what a loving family man he was. He absolutely adored Catherine and the children and spoke proudly about them often. As a boss, he was caring and fun, always the life and soul of every team event. I remember with fondness his penchant for performing punk poetry! He also loved Pret soups for lunch and I used to carry a Pret soup menu in my wallet marked out with his favourite choices lol. It still makes me smile when I think about it. :-) I hope it brings some comfort to his family and friends that Paul was respected and loved even by those of us that only knew him for a short time. Rest in peace, Paul. You are missed. Attached is a photo I took of Paul in his office when Colin Jackson dropped by in 2013.

I first met Paul at college, we were in the same year and both sports mad and both came from Merseyside. Even away from college he would call me to play in football matches that involved teams with no names and on 'appropriated' pitches. Paul rarely turned down an opportunity to play either football or cricket. The only exception I can remember was when he overdid it and after playing about three games in a couple of days and he had blood in his urine which stopped him for about a week. His playing style was 'busy', I remember teasing him by saying was more like Everton great Alan Ball married to the delicate touch of the yard dog Ron Yates. Paul would just give that wry smile and not rise to the bait Paul also loved quirks in human nature especially paradoxical ones. He introduced me to Jorge Luis Borges with his short stories about labyrinths and the infinite. Another time we were listening to the song Up the hill backwards by Bowie and I remember getting enthusiastic about the guitar style of Fripp while Paul just looked at me with his wry smile and pointed out I was missing the self referential twist in the lyrics. He did the same thing to me many years later when he mentioned he was working on a very big SAP project; in typical fashion I jumped into the details and asked did they stick the data in persistent memory to speed up recovery and asked what kind of memory were they using. Paul smiled and I felt like were were both looking at a painting in a gallery and I was examining the pigment and the brush strokes and Paul was saying "just look at the picture" It was a pleasure to know him.

In 1992, little 8 year old me went out to visit Paul and Catherine in Hong Kong with my mum and step dad. It was a trip that shaped my loved of travel, working hard and playing hard. While I have no photos, it left me with some of my earliest life memories. Laughter and constant reminders of the presence of the most incredible human being sharing burns nights, ski trips and other raucous events with my parents, will forever bring a smile to my face. I’m left with something else to shape my future. The want to be remember as a person as incredible as Paul, that brought joy to everyone within his sphere. What a human. What a loss. Sending love and light to all x

To Catherine, Josh, Chessie and Izzy We are so very sorry to hear of Paul's death. Sadly for us, we only spent a short bit of our lives living in the same place with you Maddoxes. But the time we spent in Singapore, having our first babies, was magical. And you were wonderful friends. And we had such fun! We heard from Nicki and Clare that Paul's funeral was joyful and the day was beautiful. We are sorry we could not be there but we are thinking of you and sending huge hugs. Attaching a few very cute photos too. Catherine - we will be in touch. Xox Holly and Evan

Nothing I write can adequately capture what a tremendous human Paul was. He was a great partner, friend, husband, father and so much more. He always came with a positive and supportive attitude to lift those around him. We worked together very closely on a project at EY that was extremely challenging, that neither of us designed, but we were charged with installing it across the world and getting all EY offices to “buy into” what was significant change to how each person executed many of their daily tasks. Paul fearlessly led us through this effort, with sound business solutions to the many challenges we faced and he did it all with a good sense of humor and an open mind. I was fortunate to see Paul this past July in Ann Arbor, Michigan and meet his entire family while they were in town for a wedding. We had a great conversation, and although he shared his diagnosis was terminal at that time, you never would have known it. He was his usual jovial self and we shared many great memories and talked about the future. He wasn’t quitting, he never did. On Paul’s first trip to meet me in Westlake Village, California, we had a wonderful dinner and great conversation on life and how we were going to tackle this seemingly ominous project. I felt as if we had know each other since we were kids. We finished off the night by sharing a piece of butter cake, a dessert unsurpassed by any other. As I remember Paul each year, and the fantastic human he was, every September 29th I will return to that restaurant and enjoy that butter cake in Paul’s honor, but I will only eat half as the rest will be left as a token of my appreciation for the fact I had the opportunity to call Paul Maddox my friend.

I met Paul through work while at Barclays, he was my boss and a very good one at that. Kind, supportive, a good listener, demanding, yet cool, calm and collected. We went through some tumultuous times while working on PPI and his guidance was appreciated. Over the years we kept in touch and he always made time for me and I always appreciated his support. Paul truly had a good heart. It was inspirational for me to see him face his diagnosis with such positivity and bravery. Most recently our paths crossed at ICNARC where I am a Trustee. He always spoke very fondly of his family and it was clear that he worked as hard as he did for you. I know he will be greatly missed by many.
