Paul and I were high school classmates. I offer my sincere condolences to the Atzenhoffer Family. We reconnected at our 60th year Reunion and have been in regular contact since. I gave me an opportunity to learn about his service as a Volunteer Fire Fighter and some hobbies we had in common. Rest in peace my friend.

My condolences to the Atzenhoffer family. I rode with Paul and his brother in the Terrytown Fifth District Fire Department for quite a few years and remember Paul as a giving, caring, and happy man. May find memories of times spent with him help to ease the pain of losing him.
