WOOD DALE - Claiming to have been "born in a tailpipe," classic car enthusiast Paul TerHorst had a colorful phrase for nearly every situation, was rarely at a loss for words and never missed a party, especially if it involved his many friends from numerous classic car clubs. He also loved...

Not sure what to say?

First saw Paul many years ago at the Hawthorn Woods 4th of July parade. He was driving a 1965 mustang. I had a '67 in high school, so I went over to talk. Paul stored my BMW Roadster in the winter for a few years. and whatever "beater" I had as a winter car, in the summer. Saw Paul quite a bit at the "Y" in his later years.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

One of the best "old car guys" I have had the privilege of knowing. He and Jean are some of the earliest ACD folks I met. 9th St and the Swapmeet haven't been the same since Paul stopped coming. I hope that happy memories fill your hearts during this difficult time. Paul was a "true classic". I hope he and Jean have a full tank of gas and an open road. Godspeed, dear friends.

Met Paul at the Old Car swap meets and had fun listening to his stories
and sharing meals with him and the other old swap meet guys. He will be missed.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I met Paul in the early 1980’s and stored several of my old Chrysler cars with him over the years. I always enjoyed our “car-guy” conversations. If I ever needed a part for one of my cars Paul usually knew of a contact for me to call. Paul also always had an opinion on any topic especially some of our state’s past and present upstanding politicians! My best memory of Paul was from one Saturday morning about ten years ago at Paul’s garage in Mundelein when Paul enthusiastically took time to...

Paul was a great guy and quite the character. I kept my Mercedes with him for a few years while I worked out of state. When I would come to his place to check on the car, he would always have a story or would listen to one once in a while. Thanks Paul, you will be missed until we meet again...

Paul was indeed one of a kind. I met him through the GIRCCCA. He always had a kind word, a smile, and generally some quip to try to bring a smile to everyone else's face. He will be missed.

We had the privilege of meeting Paul through the AACA and were proud to be friends. He could charge up or calm down everyone around him . Jean and Paul travelled with us on an Lake Geneva weekend after they had car trouble.What an experience! Silence never fell in his presence. After a party at their house there they had a nasty plumbing problem and he and Joanna worked in the mess to get things flowing again.... such a card ! After that he referred to her as his plumber.
We will miss...
