It's easy for me to sit here all these miles away and say Paul and his family are special people, but it says so much that the people of his community call on him knowing he will give and get it done. Well done Fab Rats!!!

Totally agree!

Absolutely.

Paul, thank you for your wonderful help on this. I found your channel through MORR. Kerry is my cousin and it’s great to see the outpouring of kindness in the difficult time he and his family is going through. Jenni was amazing!

Totally agree. It is nice to know there are still people in this country that have common decency, unlike the despicable behavior we've been seeing in the streets of our major cities the past couple years. Also, loved the guy's shirt that said "Don't California my Utah". That is exactly what has happened to us here in Oregon.

Sounds like one good hearted woman. Plus it's awesome how people know they can count on Paul to help them. One damn good awesome person in my view.

[@DandDClark]

Honestly, I appreciate how he said that after he got past the anger, he realized that it probably wasn't malicious, but more stupidity/accidental, like trying to put the front wheel of a bike on the bench. Either way, glad the memorial was rebuilt. Love the channel Paul and family! Keep up the great work!

This video is bittersweet for me, because I lost a friend who was doing a similar thing. It was a year ago, and he was riding dirt bikes with his family, and he was going down a steep trail, lost balance, went over, hit his head, and died. I also made a memorial for him, but it was only made of small rock in an outline of his initials. It's gotten weathered away.

[@alcopower5710]

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Maybe rebuild it from time to time. May he RIP

[@richardt.simmons7]

Redneck from Louisiana, I just had to make a couple of comments on your channel. I thought your video helping Matt recover a Jeep with papa Sherm’s winch truck was my favorite so far. But this one is super special because of the nature of helping someone with a special project. This was awesome, thank you guys. 👍👍👍💯💯💯

[@WilliamWilson_org]

My instinct is to be so angry at other people's ignorance and lack of respect. It's so easy to be angry. It's not easy to find and have compassion, especially in the face of what could easily be so much grief. It is inspiring. It's truly wonderful, and it helps me remember that we don't have to respond immediately with anger. I am honestly and truly grateful to KZbin and you for providing me with that inspiration.

I spent some time in Europe on a mission trip. My team was blessed to go see some roman ruins and other cool things along those lines. Everything was out in the open and you could walk up and touch it. No one does though. Only in America do we have the kind of messed up people that feel the need to be malicious for no reason and deface everything they see. I'm exaggerating of course, but I'm severely disappointed with my country the more I see it. And on flip side, it's a blessing to see others help like this and recover what wrong has been done. God bless you guys
