Thinking of Dr Paul today. Dad and I went on trip to Detroit with him in the 70's. We had a great time together. May your day in Heaven be marvelous. You are greatly missed here.

My sincere sympathy to the Kouri Family.
My sister, Francie, worked for Dr. Kouri until her death in 1983. I just learned of his death and remember what a fine man he was and always so proud of his family. May God bless you all and give you comfort.

My deepest sympathy to the Kouri family. I knew Dr. Kouri when I was at Miraleste High School with John and Joe. He
was always so nice to us kids when we would come over and
spend time at the house. He
always had a smile on! We all
thought so much of him.

Dear Bobbi and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this season. I have so many fond memories of Dr. Paul and all of you over the years which I cherish to this day. Dr. Paul's warmth, humor, zest for life and love for each of you - his family - stand out as a few of the wonderful qualities he exhibited. May God's comfort hold you close in this season, and may his memory be eternal.

Dr. Paul and his family traveled the world and the Edmond Stephan family was lucky to have been included in the group. Dr Paul always had a smile on his face and would give you the shirt off his back. The community is a much sadder place due to his loss. Warmest regards to Bobbi and the family from us up here in cold Northern California. Paul & Carol Stephan, Brian and Kathryn

Dr. Kouri was a true gentleman and the rarest kind of friend. His numerous accomplishments would fill several paragraphs and the list of people he helped in his wonderful life would fill even more. Selfless and thoughtful to the very last...he left a mark on this planet in the hearts of generations going all the way back to the depression era. He had vision, courage and a contagious smile which left everyone the better for having been around him. He always saw the best in others and never had a harsh judgement for his fellow man. Someone once said that greatness is defined by one who reminds us of no one else...Dr. Paul was truly a great man! Now in the arms of Jesus, we who knew and loved him will take comfort in his eternal reward and the memory of our treasured time with him here.
