They will be among those playing and sharing memories at his Memorial Service on Wednesday, April 17, 2019 at 11:00 AM, at Congregation Ner Tamid, 55 North Valle Verde Drive in Henderson, NV 89074. The service will end with Military Honors. Refreshments will be served at the temple following the service.

Paul was preceded in death by his first wife, Anne Phillips, and his son with Nancy, Stephen. He was also predeceased by his parents, Harold and Martha Schkurman, and beloved uncles, Herschel, David, Morris, and Lewis Rotchstein. He is survived by his sister, Esther McKenna, of Texas, two nephews Michael and Andrew, and many other relatives. Paul and his father were longtime members of Daylite Masonic Lodge No. 44 F&AM;

Paul and son Stephen will be interred privately at a later date at the Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City, Nevada.

Dearest Nancy,
We heard Paul's name called out during Shabbat services yesterday at Ner Tamid and we both looked at each other wondering if it was the Paul we knew. We are so saddened to discover that it is and that we missed his memorial services by only a week. He was such a warm, wonderful, funny, kind soul. We will never forget Paul quoting the lyrics only the good die young when we were talking in 99' and he sure was right. Gone too soon, Paul! We send our sincerest condolences, Nancy. We love you!
