Paul Dennis Lamm

Resident of Campbell

Paul Lamm passed away peacefully on the morning of Tuesday, October 26th with his wife Karen by his side. He is survived by his brother Charles S.

Lamm Jr., of San Jose, and by daughters Bente (Norman) Saucedo of Los Gatos and Denise (Guy) Castillon of San Jose, 4 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren.

After completing his Army service in Germany he returned to Missouri to work for Quaker Oats and then joined Safeway Stores. He enjoyed a 23-year career with Safeway serving in all positions from clerk to store manager. He relocated his family to the San Jose area in the late 1970's. In his retirement years he continued to work part time in customer service positions while enjoying fishing, vegetable gardening, and home handyman projects. He was an avid participant in amateur road racing events with the San Francisco Region of the Sports Car Club of America and received many awards for his volunteer contributions.

Paul will be remembered for his strong work ethic and his special interest in mentoring others. A native of Missouri, age 78 years.

Memorial arrangements pending. His family suggests that you remember Paul with a contribution to the American Lung Association, the Cancer Society, or your favorite charity.

Dave and I feel very fortunate to have known and worked with Paul at SCCA events. We will always remember his keen & "devilish" sense of humor. He (and Karen) mentored me so kindly in all things "grid". Paul will be missed greatly. We send our love, "Paddock Dave" and Kathy Draper

So sad to find another member of our SCCA family to have so suddenly left. Being such a large one, the frequency should come as no surprise. It's still painfull to all. No doubt a veteran within the Grid ranks, I will see you at the banquet. My Very Best, Mike King

For all the days you spent on Grid, and all the times you laughed. For all the moments that you gave so others could have theirs. We give a special Thank you to our friend, who will be missed but mostly remembered. Anna & Wayne Coturri
