Dear Norma,
Was so very sorry to read of the death of your son. Am sorry we lost contact after Dale's death. You were such a great support to him, I'm sure you were a great support, also to your son. Know you are a very strong person, but sometimes things are so very difficult to understand and accept. Know that my thoughts, prayers and admiration are with you in this difficult time. I was Dale's Hospice Nurse.

Little do we know the last time we are going to see a loved one, family, friend. The last time I saw you was 14 days before you died...you were serving up cosmo's and dancing behind the bar. That's the way I will always remember you. I know you are with your beloved Dad and he welcomed you with open arms and that you and Leif are working on cars and motorcycles. You will be dearly missed...

Paulie-
It's impossible to put into words how much you meant to me. You have been my best friend, confidant, and rock for so many years. No matter how far we may have drifted apart at times, we always found our way back. You've always supported, encouraged, and stood by me through the good and the bad. I miss you and look forward to seeing you again my friend. All my love,
John

To Norma, Kim, Dave, and Karyn,
Please accept our sympathies on the lost of your brother Paul. We did not know Paul well because he was the youngest of the Jensen children and you moved away from the old neighborhood in Racine when he was so young. But we remember his fascination with cars(especially wheels) as a young boy and we remember all of you and the years we spent together in the 60s playing the simplest games, from Four-Square to Hide n' Seek. And who can forget the forts we built in your attic and the carnivals to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy.
We have many memories of you all. Kim, we thought you would grow up to be a scientist someday. Dave, you loved gourmet food, so you would become a master chef. Karyn, we thought you might grow up to be a professional model. And Paul, even at age 3, seemed destined to become an ace mechanic or a car collector. How far off were we?
Norma, our best to you at this difficult time. We know you recently lost Dale and now Paul. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. You have been a great mom to your kids and a fabulous "neighborhood mom" to all six of us when we lost our mom back in the day on Indiana Street. We have thought of you more than you know over the years.
We wish you the best. Jim, Chris, Kathii, Mary, Bob, Joan and "Mac" Magruder

To Paul, your family and friends,
Having only met you a handful of times, I can't imagine what your friends and family are going to do without your essence. From the moment I met you, I knew you were a man who was "larger than life." What a pleasure to be in your company...We're all in for a "bumpy ride" without your magnificence. My deepest sympathy to all your family and dear friends. And to you, Paul, all the best.

My life has ben better having known Paul. I met and employed Paul when he was a kid. I knew him as a young man, long time valued employee and as an adult. A friend and a neighbor. But the kid in him never dissappeared. My life has been better having known Paul. Godspeed Joan!

I first met Paul as a customer at La Cage in the early 80's. He soon became an employee there and we became fast friends. We lived together for many years and there never was a dull moment. He could always make me laugh and forget my troubles. He definitely was one of a kind and I will miss him dearly.

I can't think of a time that you didn't make me laugh, Paul. Your life is a celebration of just that...getting people outside of themselves and into the moment...your moment. You always owned those moments and you always will.

To Paul - one of Milwaukee's best local comedians. Your will surely be missed. I was there when you performed "If I knew you were coming I'd a baked a cake" for your parents. What a night that was! I'll miss the Lily Tomlin impersonations - especially "Grrr laundry detergent". Only fun memories remain in my mind.

Thank you for being a mentor, a hero and a great friend. You will be dearly missed by all who had the honor of knowing you. Rest in peace Paul J. Cadillac, with Love Always, Kery.

My dearest Pauly,
Words simply cannot describe the way you touched and altered the course of my life. From the day I met you, it was clear that you were one of those truly special people that come along so infrequently in one's lifetime. You will be sorely missed, and so fondly remembered.
My entire experience in Milwaukee -- success and failure, joy and pain, love and hate -- can be traced back to that fateful night almost 9 years ago that Joshua and I ended up staying over on your sofa. From that point onward, you played an enormous role in my life, whether you really knew it or not. It was a rare treat to introduce you to someone new, and recounting the "story of Paul" will bring a smile to my face as it always has.
Thank you for all the great times, and thank you for bringing me to this odd city that somehow became home. It won't be the same without you.

Oh, My Lil' Pauly Pies, I am at a loss. A huge whole as been made due to your way too sudden a departure. I admired your great many talents; fixing radios, design, carpentry, mechanics and your ever so enchanting ability to entertain and make people laugh. Thank you for all the joy. I will always love, and never forget all the fun we shared. You are one of the glitterati. My love to all that are hurting. "MRS. MARSHALL PLEASE!"

My little mashoogala,
Do you remember that night when we sat in your room watching Kathy Griffin. We laughed until we cried. It's one of a million memories of you swimming around in my head and they're all about laughter. Your comic genius, your tender heart, and our home are gifts I will never, never forget.
Thank you for being a friend...
Mama loves ya.

This is such a loss, Paul was too young and full of life. The joy, and
laughter he brought to our lives, will be sorely missed. Having worked
with him at LaCage and the M & M club, we became good friends. I
will never forget his talent as a performer, he was a very gifted and
talented man. We had the pleasure of him working with us, during our
"Holly and Company" days. He also donated his time and talent to so
many fundraisers, they are too many to mention. His heart was huge, and there was nothing he would not do for his friends. A big amount of
laughter has left the world, that void will never be filled, but with
all our memories of Paul, we will at least always be smiling. I will
miss you my friend, and may you spread your love and laughter through
the heavens. Love you, David aka, BB

Paul, there is always a surreal passage of time when you hear of a loved one's departure. I am so glad I got to see you one last time. Even though I didn't see or speak with you for 20 years, I thought of you often. I'll never forget you and your 59 Cadillac. I was just a child when we met and I loved when you would come visit. Thank you for coming into my life, and spreading your warmth and laughter.

I haven't seen or spoken with Paul since high school, but based on the other comments here, I see he hasn't changed. He was always the most out-going, fun-loving, happy individual. Always the center of attention, whether he wanted to be or not (he usually did). He was way too young, but his spark will live on in all those he touched.

We have not been in touch in forever and a day - since high school... But, we went to the prom together - both in tuxes and had the most fabulous time ever. I will always remember Paul's energy, warmth and smile! And even though I have not seen in him in many years, I will miss him! All my love to his family and friends!

Paul, I’m still in shock hearing about your passing. How can such a loving, intelligent witty, fun person be taken from us, so young and vibrant? You lit up a room anytime you entered it. I feel priviledged to have spent time with you last summer here in Atlanta and I will always treasure that memory. You will be terribly, terribly missed by all of us! You touched and brightened so many of our lives. Godspeed Pauly!

Just hearing Paul's name brings back smiles from over 20 years ago. Paul was best friends with my girlfriend and lived next to me at school. I'll never forget his "alarm" clock. He had it hooked up to his JBL speakers which would always wake everyone else up before him. He was always running around doing something. Always having fun. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Paul, you always brought a smile to my face.

Paul was a very dear friend of the family and he will always be in our thoughts. I remember him as I was a child growing up. He was always a happy soul and a great friend to many. He was a best friend to my uncle Kery and a brother as well. Paul, you will be missed and thought of often. We will see you on the other side. Many blessings and prayers to everyone that had their lives touched by Paul.

I only met Paul a few times when he visited here at a mutual friends. He struck me as a funny sweet guy with a great smile. I'll always remember him that way, the funny cute guy in the baseball cap. I go back to a song I wrote a few years ago for a childhood friend of mine that passed back then.
Life paints many pictures of good friends long gone by
I still see their smiles when I hear their names
Im not sure why, no one really dies
Somehow I hear their laughter from a better place.
Catch ya Later Paul

I was Paul's roommate for a year. I laughed everyday that year no matter what was going on in my life. Paul taught me to love life, live life, have fun and not take things for granted. I love you Paul I will miss you and can not wait to sit next to you again and laugh.

Paul always knew what to say to make me smile. We spent many years "growing up" together along with the rest of our group in the late 80's and early 90's. Even though I had not seen Paul in a few years, I thought of him often and will miss him terribly. I too remember the blue 59 Cadillac, it was great! You are in a truly better place now Paul! Say hi to our dads and give them a kiss and a hug for me. We will love you always!

We've only known Pauly for a few years but he was always such a fun person to be around. We'll always remember him in his baseball hats! We had just seen him 3/22 and he was full of chatter as usual. Little did we know it would be the last time we'd see Pauly. Our sympathy goes out to his family, friends and especially Peter.

Thank you for being the kind of friend that was there for you. Thank you for all of the hidden talents that so many of us respected you for. But most of all, thank you for the laughter!
You lived to make people laugh. I often pictured you on stage, famous, acting out your life experiences for the pleasure of others, but as I reflect on it that’s exactly what you did. Standing behind the bar your life was acted out in a way that you couldn’t wait until the next act, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it did!
Thanks for the gravitational pull you had on others!
I love you! I’ll miss you, but most of all I can’t wait until the next act!
Oh yeah, thanks for making me tell a story in 20 minutes or less.
Come back to me often in my dreams and as always your stories will live on.

Paul made people feel great were ever he went. He was truly an old sole. A wonderful son, brother, friend and mentor. He made us all laugh and feel great when times were not always so great. I will never forget all the memories,fun and laughter. I imagine Paul up there somewhere driving his 59 Cadillac with the fins sparkling above the clouds. Paul will be missed but not forgotten. Thanks for making this place called Earth a happier place. Cheers Baby I Love You!

Paul was my roommate for about five years before I decided to move to New York. He was always a class act and all around good guy - very personable, bright and unassuming - a person who always made you feel better after encountering him. Even at my darkest hour - Paul could still make me laugh. It is truly tragic that he is no longer gracing the earth with his presence.
I express my deep condolences to his family and close friends. Please know that I am one of the many people who were deeply touched by Paul's kindness and gregarious nature. I love you Pauly and will never forget you.

So sad to find out that this lively, fun loving, sensitive soul is gone from this earth. I met Paul when he was 17 through a mutual friend. Always a spark running through him, always made you feel welcome, and loved being at the places he worked. I know many are suffering from this loss. I will remember Paul and his big cars and dynamic personality forever.

Any trip to Milwaukee had to include a stop in to visit Paul at wherever he was working. It simply would not have been a worthwhile trip without. Times he was busy and times we had a chance to chat. But either way he had the innate ability of making you welcome and adding a bright spot in your day. Paul will truly be missed. My love and sympathy to his family and freinds who are grieving. May God watch over you all!
