Dr. Paul H. Resnik, 68, passed away in his home in Cameron Park, California on January 13, 2018 after a battle with cancer. He was preceded in death by his younger brother, Daniel, and his beloved wife, Amee (Amelah). Amee and Paul were married in Maui and returned to the island frequently to remember their fairytale wedding. Before his career as a medical doctor, he was an accomplished cellist. Paul retired in 2014 and moved with his faithful dog, Flower, from Altoona, Pennsylvania to Cameron Park. However, he maintained his allegiance to his city of birth, Chicago, especially the Chicago Cubs. Dr. Resnik appreciated the care he received at UCSF and the support he felt from friends he called "my angels."At his request, no services will be held. Arrangements made by Trident Society, Roseville, Ca.

Paul was my cousin who I didn't see or hear from since about 1990. He took me inside the White Sox clubhouse around 1981 because he was the team's substitute trainer, or something like that. What a memory. He was a great guy and when I just now looked him up I was saddened to find the news of his passing. Rest in peace Paul.

Paul was a great and honest friend. Paul and I work at Sutter Memorial Hospital in Sacramento many years ago. We traveled to Mexico. He also gave me his subwoofer and his Datsun 210 car.
I last saw Paul about a year and half ago. When we went out to lunch together. That was the last time that I saw Paul. We never got together again.
His favorite Kinks song was, Something better beginning. I will think of Paul every time I hear that song.
Thank you for the Days, Paul...

I only knew Paul for the last year, but it feels like it so much longer. I am the professional organizer that he hired to help him unpack boxes from his move and organize the belongings in his home.
The hundreds of hours we spent together were such an intense, yet, I believe, kind of joyous time in his life. Even his dog, Flower endeared herself to me and became "my little assistant". I enjoyed hearing the stories of his life, travels, career, and of course, marriage to Amee.
All of our sessions ended with the same goodbyes of "drive safe", "wear your seatbelt" and "god bless you". You know he loved and cared about you if you've heard the same!
Taken much too soon!

My condolences to the family. May you find comfort and strength among family and friends. May you always cherish the wonderful memories you had with him. May you find comfort in the words found in Isaiah 57:15.

Until 1/13/2018, I never spent a day on earth without knowing that Paul Resnik was on the same planet. Paul (always "Pauly" to me) was my cousin, was 17 months older than me, and was just always there. Which was not easy, because both of us have moved around a lot. We overlapped living in northern CA for about 10 years, mostly in the 1990s. I saw him often then. Aside from those years, there were gaps when I didn't see for long times. But he always found me before too much time had passed: when I was still in high school in Chicago, he found me and taught me how to drive a stick-shift in his first car, a VW bug; when I was a college student working in London one summer, he found me in my apartment for a surprise visit; he found me in Tacoma WA when he came to see the house I bought when I moved out west; he found me in Hawaii where we reminisced the night before he & Amee got married; he found me in Lake Tahoe when he & Amee came for my 50th birthday party; he & Amee drove from PA to Richmond VA & found me when I moved back east; Pauly & Amee even flew to Paris to find me & visit when I was teaching in France. He just always found me. More importantly, he always made sure I knew he would be looking for me again. No one knew me better or longer. That connection was a lifelong source of joy. Pauly is irreplaceable to me.

Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss. I hope that words such as those found at John 6:40 bring you comfort at this difficult time. CR

I knew a teen-aged Paul Resnick. We played together in a youth orchestra in Chicago. And, whatever he played, he played beautifully.

Paul and I grew close as members of the Cameron Park Prostate Cancer Support Group as men with advanced disease receiving multiple treatments. He was so open and kind, even in the face of such adversity. It was a pleasure to know him, and to give him a big hug when we both needed it. I miss him very much.

Dr. Resnik was my neighbor here in Cameron Park for the past couple of years. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. We often stood outside talking about us both having lost our spouses. I met his father-in-law just recently as he was out walking Paul's beloved dog, Flower. He told me Paul had undergone all treatment options available to him. I wish I had gotten his name and number so I could call to ask about Flower and to give my condolences. Also to see if there is anything here that I can assist with since his father-in-law lives in Marin County. If he happens to read this I can be reached on 916-479-4325. RIP Paul. I find peace believing that you are reunited with your beautiful Amee.

Paul was a friend to all the members of the Cameron Park Prostate Cancer Support Group was always helpful to men in need and very informative with his medical background. He will be missed by all who where in his sphere of influence.

We were so saddened to hear of Paul's passing. He and Amee were some of the first people to welcome us to the neighborhood by inviting us to their home for a Halloween party ten years ago. We last saw Paul when he stopped in for a visit in the Summer of 2016 while preparing for his move to CA, but have kept in touch via FB, email, and cards since. Unfortunately, we hadn't spoken to him for several months. God bless you, Paul. You'll be missed.

I was a pain patient of Dr Resnick's here in Altoona, PA. He was such a kind man & helped improve my life tremendously. I was so sad to see him retire but with the loss of his wife, I understood why. My sympathies go out to his loved ones. He made a difference & he will be missed. Rest in Peace Dr Resnick & thank you.

Dr. Resnick began attending our prostate support group possibly a year ago. His prognosis from the beginning was extreme compared to the balance of the group. As a retired anesthesiologist he was able to provide medical specifics regarding input from of the other attendees. He had a tremendous desire to live but his doctor visits were a roller coaster. Sometimes getting very encouraging news and sometimes very discouraging. The group meant a lot to him as he developed a personal attachment to various members of the group. He will be greatly missed.
God Bless Paul
