After Paul passed away I was very sad. He came to me n a dream. He showed me that he was living in a beautiful garden with trees, flowers, and streams. He said," Don´t be sad, I´m not!" He showed me that he could jump and dance without any difficulties. I was encouraged to know that he is well and happy in heaven. I look forward to seeing him there.

Betty and family
I send my deepest condolences for the passing of this most beloved man. I knew Paul for a number of years. He was a friend, a brother, and a generous man. I will never forget the years I got with him. He was someone I looked up to and he was a great friend to me while he was active in the SCA. He knew me as the granddaughter of Lady Rowana and Lord Joseph the Scholar, the twin of(sorry about spelling)Milady Rebecca, and by the name Milady Gabriella or by our real names Diane,Joe,Barbara,and me Gail. I honored Pauls life in my own way by cutting my hair to give him something to remember me by. I will always cherish Paul's memory and I will hold sacred all that he taught me which came from in his heart.

Betty & family,
I was so very sorry to read of Paul's death. You have my deepest sympathy. I will always cherish my memories of Paul's visit to my house, during which we discussed our respective libraries, and how much each of us wanted one or two titles that the other had. He was great fun and had an amazing fund of knowledge, both common and obscure. I still have the note he enclosed in the book he sent as a thank-you, in impeccable calligraphy (I have the book, too!). May peace and consolation reach you. Sincerely, Lynne

Paul, I will miss your cards and letters. In a world of emails your letters were always a joy! I take peace in knowing you suffer no more and you are wrapped in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ!
This is a photo of Rosanne Pipinich with Paul, also in Cascade. My dad had recently died and Paul came to spend time with the family. As you can see, we'd both gotten chubby over the years but both of us recently lost weight.

I will miss Paul very much. He was a good friend. He had many other good friends. I feel blessed that he touched my life, and introduced me to a lot of his friends. I will always remember him and our long talks.
This is Paul Zabrocki and Rosanne Pipinich at Central High School graduation in 1972. As you can see he liked to ham it up for the camera and this is his Napolean pose!
