Not sure what to say?

As part of my undergraduate business education at Pepperdine University, Seaver College, Malibu, I enjoyed my arbitration/law class with Paul Rothschild. While I have since pursued studies and employment in business and public policy, I have remained interested in law as it impacts my work and the pursuit of a legal degree. Thank you, Paul Rothschild, for your positive influence. Respectfully, a former student

I am a former student of Paul's from USC - "Dr. Rothschild" only in class - and one of the fortunate ones who stayed in contact after classes ended. I'll never forget his calm presence and guidance coming into Marina del Rey in the "Y Knot?" And when times called for something less calm, what a zest for life & love he had! I'll always remember that impish grin, wink & quick wit that were integral to the dear sweet man he was and which I'll always remember.

I would like to "second" Carla's viewpoint. I was never priviledged to meet Sir Paul! However, he must have done many things right as a parent and as a person because his son ,Jeff, is delightful.
In truth, Jeff, you and your brother's are very lucky to have had a Dad who cared and was so interesting!

I met my great uncle paul when he magically showed up at my apartment in Vista Ca. Smiling brightly, and wrestling with a large, excited dog, he shook my hand and gave my fiance' a hug. That week we went over to his house, had a fantastic steak dinner, topped off by a great wine cake. Over the course of the evening, we heard family stories that had never been disclosed to me (or my father, for that matter) about my grandpa Jim and his brother, Paul. We heard stories about Paul at Pepperdine...

What an honor to be able to provide service to such a notable human being. Thank you to the family for allowing us the oppurtunity.

A Loving Man

Paul's vivacity, humor, and charm are a testament to his incredible character. I feel so blessed that my family and I were a part of his life. Paul- we love you and all the bright memories of our time together. We will keep you alive in our hearts and minds until we meet again.

Happy Together

Wonderful memories woven in gold, This is the picture we tenderly hold
Deep in our hearts your memory is kept, To love and to cherish and to never forget
We miss you Dad in so many ways We miss the things you used to say
Memories are treasures no one can steal, Your cheerful smile, your heart of gold
You were the best this world could hold
Never selfish, always kind
These are the memories you left behind
While you sleep a peaceful sleep
Fond memories of you, we always...

Although I only met Paul once or twice, I could tell he was "a kick!" I'm sorry I did not have the opportunity to know him better. However, if we can judge the character of a person by how his or her children turn out . . . . .which is sometimes a dangerous thing to do, but not in Paul's case . . . . . . I would say that Paul was quite a man. Knowing what I do about Paul's son, Jeff and his siblings, I know that Paul's children turned out to be people who are kind, intelligent, and...
