I’ll be keeping an eye on it. One user commented, “Can’t believe a year has gone by already,” and another said, “He was just the most amazing of men.” Truly compassionate, kind, and sincere, she will always be deeply missed.
“I won’t miss that one program,” remarked a third person. I’m grateful, Tony. It seems unbelievable that a year has passed. Paul was the most amazing person, and he will be sorely missed. A fourth person echoed, saying, “He is sorely missed.” Without him, the world would be a duller place. He was a true genius, and there will never be another one. RIP Always Paul/Lily hope Buster was there to greet him with loads of dog kisses, coupled with a bunch of emoticons depicting sobbing faces.
Another said, “It’s hard to imagine television without him; he was a very big talent with an even bigger heart. You’re definitely missed, Mr. Ogrady. A year since the Birkenhead bombshell left us, it’s gone so fast.”
On March 28, 2023, Paul “unexpectedly but peacefully” died away. André Portasio, the late TV star’s spouse, verified the information.
“It is with great sadness that I inform you that Paul passed away unexpectedly but peacefully yesterday evening,” said a statement at the time. Loved ones, friends, family, animals, and everyone who cherished his compassion, wit, and humor will all miss him terribly. I’m sure he would want me to express my gratitude for all of your support and affection throughout the years.”
