Paul Hobus Obituary

May 16, 1965 - July 19, 2018Paul Robert Hobus, age 53, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, July 19th. He was a beloved husband, doting father, fun loving brother, favorite uncle, coach, cousin and friend of so many. Paul, or "Paulie", as he was known to his siblings, was born in Elm Grove, Wisconsin, on May 16, 1965. He was the youngest of eight, a pretty awesome Catholic claim. He was 3 years old when his parents, Paul and Ann Hobus, moved their large family to California where he remained the rest of his life. He graduated from Mary Star of the Sea High School, and earned is bachelor's degree at Cal State Northridge on a full ride basketball scholarship. He worked in the computer solutions industry and, more recently, as a realtor with Keller-Williams in Palos Verdes. He became part of the fabric of so many lives because of his exuberant nature and great sense of humor. Paul is survived by his wife, Vicky (Caldwell) Hobus, the love of his life, and their three strapping sons: Jackson, 21, Kyle, 18 and Luke, 15; his sisters, Cindy, Patty, Mary, Theresa, and their families; and his brothers, Gus, Hugh and John, and their families.A rosary at 9:30am and a funeral Mass at 10am will be held this Saturday, July 28, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 1292 W. Santa Cruz in San Pedro, CA. A luncheon will follow immediately at the Holy Trinity Parish Center. Interment will be private. Please sign the guestbook at dailybreeze.com/obits.

More than 3 months that Paul has been gone and I still touch the corner of his office every day when I walk to mine; I see the mug with his familys photo, the pen sitting by his monitor, some papers left haphazardly on his file. I still carry not just his old card, but the new one from the new team he was so happy to part of. I still turn when my laptop acts up to ask him for help, and anxiously await for him to act like I was taking up his time wanting his help, but knowing by that hidden smile that the joke was coming. I miss him every day. His large presence has left a gaping hole in our office.

Literally just met Paul, Kyle and my daughter Jael went to prom together! What a wonderful night! We talked a moment, he was so proud of all his boys, so nice and jovial. Just a great guy! Boys carry on your dad's legacy. God speed to you and our prayers are with you.

No words can express the sadness I feel for all of you. I will cherish the memories... from times at MSHS to watching our young boys on the courts at Bogdanovich, family times at Mass at HT, especially his fun-loving smile and bear hugs!
