taken away too
soon
This website is a place where we honor and
remember Paul. It is a place where family and friends can see and listen to
Paul.
It is a place where you can visit and reflect
about Paul, about the frailty of life or whatever else matters to
you.
Paul had an impact on many people during life and
also after his death. His spirit will live with us
forever.
We will continue to do everything that Paul
expects of us, and we hope that you will
too.
We'll use this site to tell you about
Paul.
We'll use it as a place where Edina High School
and Somerville High School applicants for the Paul Farris Memorial Scholarship can learn
about Paul.
We'll use it for our advocacy against unnecessary
high speed police
pursuits,
because if simple
judgment
had
been used
on that early
morning
of May 27,
2007, Paul would
still
be here
with
us.

Advocacy to stop unnecessary
police pursuits
'Police pursuits, for
the most part, are merely a passing newspaper story or television headline, forgotten by readers
and viewers a few minutes later. But for the hundreds of relatives and thousands of friends of
these innocent victims, the pain is real and never goes away.
Never.'
- Jonathan Farris, Paul's dad
Paul died as the result of a totally
unnecessary police pursuit in a Boston suburb. Since that day we've been working to change
legislation and talking with anyone who will listen. We've now joined forces
with PursuitSAFETY
in an all out effort to enact real and positive
changes so others will not have to suffer through what Paul's family & friends
have.
Please see our Advocacy pages to learn more
about this pervasive problem.
