Paul Lansing Grafinger

Dear MK and family,

My condolences on Paul's sudden passing. He was a great guy and will be sorely missed. I hope a few stories about Paul may help bring some smiles to you during this difficult and sad time.

Paul and I grew up together in Berwyn and I knew him for over 50 years.

Paul taught me about high fidelity sound. He was the first person I knew who had a high end stereo system and eventually he bought a quadraphonic system - he beat home theatre...

May the God of comfort bring the family peace.

I am not yet able to believe the reality of Paul's passing. Although I have only know Paul for six years, I have been friends with Mary Kay for over 40 years. The effect that Paul had on her life, and the life of her children, has been a beautiful thing to watch. Their six children blended in a remarkable way. Paul was down to earth and had a heart as big as the ocean. He looked out for everyone and always made you feel welcome and included. I was fortunate to be with Paul and Mary Kay...

I was so saddened to hear about Paul’s passing. Thinking back over the 41 years I knew him, a flood of memories returned, and they reminded me of what a tremendous individual Paul was. He had a large influence on my life and career, as he did for so many others. You knew just by shaking his hand that Paul was a man of integrity (I always thought I had a firm handshake... ). My condolences, and may his family and friends always have fond memories of Paul.

MK and family, as an employee of Paul for many years, I have never worked for someone who truly embraced the hard work he put forward to build a successful company and always shared his appreciation to those of us who worked hard to carry out his endearing ethic of providing excellence in the field of AV. I will be forever grateful to be a part of Advanced AV and having the best boss imaginable.

40 years of being a painting contractor I would have to say that the grafingers were at the top of my list as favorite clients Paul and MK are just so sweet and generous and genuine it was a pleasure to paint their home I will certainly miss the conversations I shared with Paul whether it was about sports or cars or just ideas for his home a wonderful man taken way too soon God bless paul

So sorry to hear of his passing. Rest in peace and keep sailing through the heavens Paul.

Dear MK, Jason, Sara, Paige and the entire extended family:
Like you, I was shocked to learn of Paul's passing. Having just spent time with him in late October, I can tell you all how happy he was, how proud of his family he was and how much he was looking forward to new chapters in his life. Deepest sympathies on a loss that will never subside but hopefully, his love and memory will be a light forever.
He was a great friend and I loved him!

Great loss of a great man. Condolences to his family and those of us lucky to have known him. Rest In Peace, Paul.
