Paul Gunnar Schrik

I first met Paul in the early 90's when we were both selling homes for Continental Homes in Phoenix. Paul was always funny and we enjoyed many laughs over the years. We spent hours on the phone when sales were slow. Long before we had the internet! We lost touch when he moved back to Chicago but do remember talking maybe 10 years ago? He called out of the blue to check in as he was good about doing. Paul has been on my mind so much over the past few months. I googled him to try to get his contact info and was shocked to learn he recently passed away. I loved the photo that was posted on his obituary. It is exactly how I remember him. Rest in peace Paul.

Paul was our fun friend and I miss seeing him in his driveway waving at me or sitting in our driveway with his glass of wine as we shared intriguing conversations and the crazy news of the day. He is sadly missed and we will always think of him as a dear friend. Rest in peace Paul.

I remember Paul sitting on the driveway with the Murphys always in conversation with a glass of red wine , I would stop an talk occasionally also, he often talked with my husband who passed away 10/3/19 , he was very friendly and is missed, Louise Russo 347 St. Andrews Dr

Paul and I were great friends for over 30 years. We had a lot of lunches together, drank a lot of great wines and did some traveling when we were a bit younger. Like many others of you who called him friend or family, I could always count on Paul as a friend, confidant and always took to heart his sage advice, counsel and wisdom. Godspeed and safe passage my friend.

While I haven't seen him since the 20th year reunion it is sad to hear of his passing. (Memories of all school years.)

My hope for you as family members will focus on the richness he brought to all of you in his days on earth. Left too soon.

My thoughts and prayers,

We had fun in High School, even more fun at the 20th reunion. Missed you at the 50th. Your smile is famous---and fabulous! Your quick wit endeared you to everyone. Your compassion and friendships were a gift to all. I cherish the fun times and will always remember you with honor and respect. Peace and Love

So sorry to learn of Paul's passing. He had such a wonderful and quick smile and was always friendly and welcoming. I saw him at the 20 year York reunion and wondered of him at our 50th. God speed Paul! Nora Mulholland Y'1971

I knew Paul since Hawthorne Grade School in Elmhurst, IL. He was special way back then. Paul was popular with many people from the start, sharing his personality and humor. Paul was always outgoing and engaged people either as friends, coworkers or clients with the same smile and attention.
He will be missed by many.

Having shared 3 phases with Paul: 1) York High School, 2) Living in AZ (actually as a roommate for a brief stint), & 3) Back home in Wood Dale/Elmhurst; I can happily say, "Thanks for the memories, Paul!"
