Paul Klodt Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 26 to Mar. 4, 2012.

Klodt, Paul Roger Age 78, of Minnetonka, passed away at his home on Friday, February 24, 2012. Preceded in death by his parents, Frantz and Ruth Klodt and his sister, Janice Klodt. Survived by his son, Kevin (Rebeccah), Kevin's sister Cheri Hagen and their mother Dianne Klodt; grandchildren, Katie & Olivia Hagen and Kingston & Nova Klodt; sister, Myra Christenson and nephew, Dan Christenson. Paul spent his life doing what he loved - developing and building thousands of apartment units as well as retail, commercial and industrial properties throughout the Twin Cities. He was a steadfast friend and mentor to many in the industry. His hands-on style and generous, down-to-earth manner endeared him to his many loyal employees and business partners. With Paul, a handshake closed the deal, and the written contract was for the attorneys. His integrity, guidance and spirit will be sadly missed by his grieving family and the entire real estate community. The family would like to express their heartfelt appreciation for the loving care provided by Paul's many caregivers, especially Linda, Enid and Helen. A memorial celebration will be held Thursday, March 8, 2012, at Interlachen Country Club, 6200 Interlachen Boulevard, Edina, from 3-7 PM. Program starts at 3 PM, reception to follow. Memorials preferred to the charity of donor's choice.

I will always remember Paul. He was a great man who always told me he loved building buildings. He will be forever missed.

Paul was one of the greatest people I have ever known. My deepest sympathy to his family for their loss. He will be missed. He was a wonderful friend and mentor to me. I know he lived his life to the fullest, always wanting to go to work. He once told me to learn to relax when I am stressed out. I asked him "what do you do?". He said he closes his eyes and builds buildings, huge cities connecting them until he has so many! He laughed and said "That might not work for you, try taking a walk around the block".I will never forget my great friend. He was loved very much and will be missed. We will see him on the other side. God Bless.

Rest in peace, Paul. You were always ready to take on the next project or chat with a visiting friend. Always willing to share a tale or lend a helping hand. Thank you for the open door at the office as I passed by for so many years.

To Paul's family . . . My prayers are with you in the loss of your father- he will be missed. Our paths crossed for over 30 years with all the wonderful restaurant properties he helped support and his great music support as well. He was always smiling - and shared his enthusiasum on new projects too. . .

As an old friend, going back over 50 years, I thoroughly enjoyed our visits and conversations with such a great person and industry leader. Sincere best wishes to his family and his associates..Hugh Thorson, Santa Barbara formerly from Minneapolis (left in 1973).

What a loss for many people. We are neighbors and would love to stop and chat with Paul when he went for his many walks. Always trying to add a positive twist. The business community lost a key figure and so did our neighborhood.

Paul was a great guy. When I built my office building, he stopped by several times a week, without being asked, to make sure they were doing the job right. He will be sadly missed by our industry and personally by his friends.
