May he rest in peace, and condolances to his family. I always looked forward to seeing Candies&Hughes at the races as they were a true class group with cars that ran as beautifully as they looked. John Kissel K242

Condolences and prayers from the Middleton family. Definitely one of the nicest people we have met since we started racing and a really great family. Thoughts and prayers sent to the family. Rest in peace Mr. Paul.

I will trully miss Mr. Paul Candies. I go back to the old days, but more recently I witnessed his support of his family racing. A few years ago, he was at the table with me & my wife at my nephews pre-wedding dinner. I recognized him, and after introducing myself, I was amazed that he acually knew who I was. Over the past few years, he always said "Hi" and visited with me at the races. He would ask about my nephew and his family.

He is a true "Hall of Fame" racer.

My condolences to the family.

I am sure that PB will post his own.

From our entire family, thanks to all for the kind and thoughtful words. Our leader is gone, but never forgotten. In his own words..."just go kick ***." So we will be looking forward to seeing our racing brethren soon.

Say a prayer for Ms Rita!

Thanks!

Thanks to all of you that are sending us messages of your thoughts, prayers, love and support. The drag racing family is truly that, a family. We appreciate each and everyone of your comments. Mr. Paul loved drag racing and especially watching his boys PB, Brett, our great family friend Rhett Fulton and soon his grandson Devin race. His love and drive for this sport was never ending. Although he may no longer be standing on the starting line he will definitely be cheering them on!!

And as Brett said please send special prayers for Mrs. Rita
Thanks,
