Paul Gillette

I miss him something awful ! Little Sister.

I worked with Paul for many years at Magnolia Audio Video, Paul was not just a co-worker but a good friend as well. Paul was a good and kind person who had a great passion for cars, I would see Paul at the car shows at Triple XXX in Issaquah and at Lake Sammamish State Park. My deepest sympathies to Pauls family, Lorraine and her daughter.

I first met Paul at Pay n Pak in the mid 80's and alway's enjoyed his easy manner and great sense of humor.He was a very likable person and alway's made you laugh.
Sometimes we would drive to SIR speedway were he would race his Camaro while I watched from the stands and after we would check out all the other cars then watch the jet dragsters rocket down the strip - you could feel the sheer power of the engins way up in the top seats.
I really owe that experience to Paul,...

Paul and I first met at Pay n Pak in the mid 1980's. We became instant friends. Paul had a very dry sense of humor which I cherised. We stayed in contact after I left the "Pak" in 1987. In the early days we would ride to Lake Chelan on Memorial Day Weekend. In the later years we would ride to Yakima or if time was short we would ride to Greenwater just up Hiway 410 out of Enumclaw where I live. We would also meet at the Bellarmine Crab Feed evey year. We'd tell jokes talk about upcoming rides...

I met Paul through his long time friend Rick Reid. He has told me all of the stories of the motorcycle rides they did together. I remember when Paul pulled up to my house in the Camaro. What a sweet ride being a car buff myself. I could tell what nice guy he was. I can't say that I knew him well but I did get to join him and Rick on their last ride together. We left Enumclaw and rode over to Union Gap to get a famous "miner burger". We talked about cars and doing more rides we even talked of...

I was one of the neighborhood kids that grew up watching Paul and his brother build and work on their Hotrods. He was the reason many of us got involved in Chevy Muscle cars. I lost touch with Paul for 30 years, until last summer (2009) when I saw His Camaro at a local car show. I couldn't believe it was Him..and His Car!! He was a Big part of My childhood and I'm thankful for the chance I had to see Him again, and tell Him just how much of an impact He had made on a couple kids from the old...

We miss you brother Paul... Your joking around and wicked sense of humor. Take care up there - I know, we will all see you again someday - until then, keep the rubber to the pavement. Our love and everything good.
"To Be Continued"... Sista M and Bill Turina

I remember Paul from high school, especially his love for guitars and hot rods. I was his family's paper boy, lived just up the street on Courtland. I remember he and I went and got our Social Security cards together, our numbers just one digit off. I am so sorry for your loss.
