Thirl Millachip

For my dear son-in-law.We all miss you so very much. Rest easy, dear Paul.

Such a fitting tribute Thirl to a unique man and a great friend. RIP Paul.

How much I wish I could say that I’ll make him a nice cup of tea xx

Thirl, Your strength is an inspiration after such a shocking day. Our thoughts and prayers are with and your family. RIP Paul, one of the nicest men and best Engineers who I ever met. With deepest sympathy, Brendan & Hilary.

A wonderful cause and slightly mad challenge, fits perfectly with our memory of the wonderful and slightly mad Paul. You and Paul have been inspirational to us over the years and clearly this will continue.

Thinking of Paul and those he loved best.

Thinking of you Thirl. Stay safe and enjoy the ride.

I planned on doing this ride with Paul as it is a fantastic cause and he was a great friend. I will cherish the years working side-by-side with him as well as having fun. He taught me a lot, including that it doesn't count as a trail run fall if there's no dirt on your back! High integrity, diligent, no-BS and fun. So grateful to have had him as a friend.

Thank you for giving us this opportunity to honour Paul and support you.

In memory of Paul from the Woodside Engineering morning tea on 22 November 2021

My condolences Thirl. Paul was a fine, caring man . I was honored to have him as a colleague.

Thirl - Condolences to you and your extended family. Thanks for giving us the chance to contribute to Paul's memory. Our thoughts are with you.

So shocked and sad to hear this news. We both worked with Paul over the years, and still laugh at his quote ‘what do I know? I’m just a process engineer’ which is ironic because he was one of the best engineers around. Our thoughts are with you, Thirl.

Our condolences to you Thirl, Adam & Gina. You are in our thoughts. What a wonderful you are doing in Paul’s memory raising money for canteen. Best wishes

Paul personified integrity. He was thorough, professional, dedicated, trustworthy. I am privileged to have worked with him. A wonderful person, and the world is a worse place without him.

Hi Thirl, What a beautiful idea and so selfless in this time of grief for you and the family. My enduring memory of Paul is him showing the "scary video" of water tests for flow assurance for Browse and his boundless enthusiasm for anything active.

Thinking about you and remembering school days and guide camps

We’re with you in spirit. Paul would be proud.

Tail winds forever

Hi Thirl, supporting you this week. We had fun doing a small cycle and taking some photos-see Facebook post.

Hi Thirl, my condolences to you and your family on the loss of Paul. I wasn't fortunate enough to work with him in great depth but knew of him as a brilliant engineer who stood up for what was right. Best wishes for your ride in his honour.

Dear Thirl, Our deepest condolences on your loss. We wish all the best on this ride. Please keep well and stay safe.

Paul was such a kind friend. Thinking of you all.

Fabulous cause, and ride safe

Paul was great guy and this is a great way to remember him

Thirl, I had the pleasure of working for Paul about ten years ago and meeting you and your lovely family at a team BBQ you hosted at your house. Paul was a formidable engineer and a great defender of those who worked for him. He was an inspiration.

In memory of our friend, colleague and mentor, and with so much love and respect for you Thirl.

What a great idea. If you need an extra friend to ride with, I'll join you.

I’ll be thinking of you and cheering you on from afar xx

Paul was my first mentor at Granherne. Taught me a lot about the engineering and flow assurance trade. We seemed to keep in touch regularly around bikes, running, swimming and work. Always ready with a witty quip and huge smile. I will miss him. Take care Thirl. And good luck for the ride.

All the best for your challenge in memory of Paul.

Please accept a donation Thirl, to such an amazing cause in the memory of Paul . I don’t know the family but he must have been brave, generous, and caring man …very much loved .

Please accept my deepest condolences for your family's loss. I was fortunate to have worked with Paul on the Browse and Senegal Projects and will surely miss him. May his departed soul rest in peace.

Hi Thirl, I’ve been thinking of you and Paul since hearing of this tragedy a couple of months ago. Paul was one of the first people I had met when I joined Granherne in 2003, and him being Paul made it easier for me to gain familiarity within Granherne, an easy going mentor…. All the best to you and your family. Kevin

Dear Thirl and family, Please accept my small contribution to a wonderful cause in the memory of Paul who was a well respected, lovely gentleman.

Hi Thirl, Have been thinking of you and your family a lot since I heard the tragic news. Paul was a lovely guy and a great engineer. I'm sure his influence will be felt by many for a long time to come. Well done for taking on this challenge and thinking of others at such a difficult time. Andy

Paul’s passing is a reminder to all of us to respect the ocean and to live life to the fullest, do good to others like you and Paul have with this worthy cause. Bless you Thril and stay strong. Our thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

I was blessed to have Paul as my first boss out of university and there could not have been any better. What I loved most about him was his honesty and that he genuinely cared about his colleagues.

Hi Thirl...I was deeply shocked to hear about Paul. I have always known him to be a great mentor and a very lively person and have wonderful memories with him. I am so sorry for your loss . I am happy to support this noble cause. I am not sure if you remember me..I was at Woodside with Paul and have visited you a couple of times at your residence. I am currently in Canada.

In memory of Paul

hi thirl, was an absolute pleasure to have known and worked with Paul over the years, loved his passion and sense of fun, still remember him chasing our boat along the river in his kayak and almost overtaking us. :)

Paul was one of the loveliest people I have worked with, and this is a wonderful way to honour him. Well done Thirl. My sincerest sympathies to you, Adam & Gina. He will be missed. x

Paul left his mark on so many Process engineers at Woodside. He really did go above and beyond to help develop the younger engineers and led by example by acting with such integrity. Not to mention his wonderful sense of humour. He'll be missed as a mentor and friend. Thank you for setting this up Thirl; helping young people is exactly what I remember Paul for the most.

With respect and condolences.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss Thirl. A wonderful cause to raise money for

In memory of a special person

Dear Thirl what a great thing to do in Paul’s memory. Thinking of you loads as you go through this incredibly difficult time. ❤️

I was shocked to see the article about Paul in yesterday’s Sunday Times. For some reason it brought me back half a lifetime to a night in your house just before we took the train to Austria. Larger than life springs to mind. It still makes me smile to remember.

My love and thoughts are with you at this impossibly sad time. I work at Woodside and alongside Paul for some time. He was a first class professional. One of the most intelligent, rigorous and passionate fellows I've had the pleasure of working with. Much love... Colin

Thirl, You are inspirational and handling the situation you have been dealt with so much courage. Wishing you all the best on this cycle.

Condolences to you and your family. I only have good memories of Paul and am grateful to have learned much from him.

Thirl- what a wonderful goal and charity choice. Sending you, your kids and wider family love and strength - The Longs

Wishing you pedal power full steam ahead!

Paul supported me when I needed that quiet assistance at difficult times at work. My thoughts are with you and your family.

In memory of a kind and patient man with a great sense of humour.

I am in awe of you Thirl for jumping into support this incredible cause so quickly. It is such a perfect way to honour Paul’s memory. He would, I am sure, be incredibly proud of you.
