Paul Emerson Poppler

I met Paul in Germany when he was in the Army. I last talked to him January 2, 2024. I just found out about his passing. What a great guy. I always looked forward to hearing from him. I will miss you. RIP

I was deeply saddened to hear the "your call cannot be completed as dialed" message when I attempted to reach out to wish you a happy birthday. My heart was ready to hear your familiar voice, perhaps with the usual "as soon as I'm back" or "as soon as I'm able..." message, only to recall that you had changed it some years ago. Your presence in my life was truly cherished, and the friendship over the years will be profoundly missed. Rest in peace my friend. Condolences to his family.

I never had the opportunity to meet Paul but I have the pleasure of working with his daughter Erin who is my company´s attorney. I know how proud he is of her. I would have loved to have met him as we are the same age and sounds like an amazing person and veteran. I salute you for your service and as proud parent. God bless you and your family.

My sincere condolences. I´ve know Paul since we met in 1968 while in Germany. When passing through Riverside I call to chat and/or meet up. When he did not return my calls I had a bad feeling. I´ll always remember the good times we had together.

Paul was the only person I ever married. He was and always will be the father of our daughter's. We shared a decade of adventure, fun, travel, creativity, found mavericks on the run. We found our place in Mendocino, It was magic for us. We created a restaurant in 1976 that is alive and well,48 years after the fact. We were able to maintain a friendship over the decades and both encourage and support our daughter's as they pursued their dreams and ambitions. What joy their success has brought...

Paul, we all loved you, never met one person who didn´t! You were a man of amazing talent in so many aspects. Rest easy in paradise my friend Shari Buccino

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Paul, you had the largest personality and you were so good to me and my mother. I thought of you as a fill in dad and I will always have so much love for you. You are missed. This world has suffered a great loss.

I'll miss you Paul even though I lost almost every bet we made on sports. As a brother-in-law, you were a wonderful friend and family member. Pete Cannon (husband of Deb the Hun)
