So very sorry to hear about your loss. I had not seen Paul for many years but like Darby´s, he was always there my dad, Bob (the barber) Dorsch has been gone for more than 34 years and he was a fixture at Darby´s. That is how it was with the Tavern and your family. Always welcoming. Prayers are with you all.

Sandy I´m so sorry for the loss of your brother. I know how close you always were. I´m the only only left of my siblings, and it´s very hard to not have them around. Know that I am thinking of you. Oh, thanks for the Christmas wishes. I was lax in sending any this year. At 87 I´m lucky to get out of bed. Sigma love. Joyce

I have known Paul and the Krajicek family since I was a little kid. My grandparents-- Babe and Norma Barrington were customers. Paul was always a good guy with a great sense of humor.
I enjoyed how he always wore the sweatshirt for the Nebraska opponent each week. He did it just to give people a hard time. I remember having a beer after they buried my grandfather and Paul served me up a Falstaff and told me how much he thought of Babe and Norma. He was classy and genuine that way.
The world has indeed lost a South Omaha legend.
