Paul was on his houseboat in grand isle La. from what i was told with friends and famly when he passed. the Candies famly was getting ready for the International Grand isle Tarpon Rodeo that is held next week.the Rodeo is the largest in the state of La. it is the US nationals of Rodeo's. and the Candies famly is a large part of the Rodeo Committee and Pauls dad the late Otto Candies Sr was one of the founders of the Rodeo.I was lucky enough to win it in 1996 with the largest Tarpon that year. and i have a pic in my office with Paul giving me the award.he will be sadly missed by myself and our racing family. RIP my friend.
