Paul McCartney was able to say goodbye to his pal Neil
Mar 26, 2008

Paul McCartney has paid tribute to The Beatles' roadie, confidante and 'fixer', Neil Aspinall, who died earlier this week (March 24).

In a statement, McCartney emphasised the fun he and Aspinall had throughout their long association.

The former Beatle said: "I met him at school when we were both 11 and we remained friends ever since.

"I was able to say goodbye and thank him for everything he did for us and I send my deepest sympathies to his wonderful family.

"I will miss him but will remember the laughs, there were plenty."

Thank you for the post, Eppylover. Here is a little bit more of it from Paul McCartney's website:

"Neil was a great man who I knew even before I met any of the guys in The Beatles. I met him at school when we were both eleven and we remained friends ever since. I was able to say goodbye and thank him for everything he did for us and I send my deepest loving sympathies to his wonderful family. I will miss him but will remember the laughs, there were plenty."
