Paul Starzyk

I was very saddened to hear about Paul. I wish I had heard sooner in case there was any thing I could do to help. I meet Paul at DeKalb High, we worked together as well as were both gymnasts. I also went on to NIU & saw him quite frequently while he worked at the Jungle. I am sorry we never kept in touch after that. I didn't see him at the last reunion, which is sad, but I met Julie for the first time at the Sycamore Pumpkin parade 2007 & felt like she got me caught up on what he was...

Paul you are an exceptional man. We met under unfortunate circumstances, but despite that we came to a quick understanding. You saved me from a future in prison away from my family. I only hope you know how truly grateful my entire family is to you. When there was no reason to care, you did and that means more to me than I could ever say. Thank You Paul.

My love and deep condolance to you all.

Sorry for your loss. Praying for you and the kids.

He was smart and funny and always smiling. The young people who started as trainees fresh out of college for that company were a close-knit bunch. All of us the same age, all of us in our first jobs out of college with the world ahead of us. All those young kids have gone on to do many things, but...

Dear Marvin, Ann, Liz, Kathy and Julie,

I send my deepest sympathies to you in the loss of Paul. I was so shocked and saddened to have read about his death in the Chronicle online. As your family babysitter many years ago, I remember all the kids so fondly. I recall Buzzy had a penchant for pestering his older sisters when the opportunity arose (and they were quite able to take care of themselves), but at the same time he always helped and watched out for Julie. I was gone from the...
