This is dedicated to long-time Big Sur local, Paul Vieregge, who passed over yesterday at home at the age of 87. Blessings to you, Paul, from the beloved hills of home. My heart goes out to Penny and Josh.

  • I bid you fond adieu Paul. You have been a constant, humorous part of my Big Sur life. I will miss you and your chuckles on my next visit, but I know you must be with some "greats" somewhere having great jazz!

  • I am so sorry to learn this news. May Paul walk along the coastal ridges, beaches and canyons with God at his side forever more. My condolences to his family.
