Not sure what to say?

We are still missing Paul on earth, however he lives on with us in greay memories; What a great time was had when he invited me yo the Indy 500 with him and Marlenes daughter and one other friend. We all stayed at his sister´s house and enjoyed a good time. Paul planned out many adventures including go cart racing, which he won of course! He was a great person! He is not gone forever. He has just changed addresses until we catch up with him in heaven.

I miss my friend and his upbeat attitude and smile. We met on a cruise during a murder mystery dinner. My wife and I laugh when we say that Paul & Marlene made us look like introverts. Over the years we continued a great friendship. Marlene & Paul would insist that I stay at their home when visiting the area. I remember riding with Paul and his ski partner "spotter" on the boat while out for a practice ski session. When we were done they pulled the boat back onto the trailer and out of the...

Paul was a great friend and confidant. I enjoyed going to the Indy 500 with him and meeting more of his family. He was a master at go cart racing and enjoyed giving you a good bump as he let you know he was passing ! Thankful that I was able to know him . Darrell Leber

I am very sorry to hear this news. Paul was a great friend and the person that helped me start the Houston Cobra Club mentioned in the obituary. I will our lunches and I will miss him.

We were so sorry to hear the news.

We have gotten to know Paul and his family over the years and enjoyed sleeping on the floor at his brother's house and having 'alligators' in the morning before the Indy 500. Racing go carts with him and friends before the big race was a real hit.

He joined us at the concourse de elegance one year where we had a great time looking at all the cars and watching the vintage car races.

Most recently we joined him and his wife in...

Carol and I were the beneficiay of aligators with him and his family the morning of the Indy 500 at his family home a few years ago and many great times over the years.

He joined us the Concours de Elegance at Pebble Beach and we had a great time.

We were with him and his wife in Hawaii just a few months before he lost her to a car accident.

Then the hurricane and now this very difficult medical challenge.

We will always remember him as a kind and caring...

Like so many others, Paul taught me how to Trick Ski and we spent tons of hours out on the water together back in the 70s-80s. When Paul was traveling a lot for his job, I was the keeper of his Ski Nautique, which he generously shared with many, many people. We stored it at my family's boat storage facility on Almeda-Genoa Rd in Houston. So many people would never have had the opportunity to ski were it not for Paul's generosity. With many friends we spent wonderful times in the Watergate...

Paul helped me pass Geometry at Chartrand. He was always a gentleman. Rest in Peace Paul!
