Paul and I were office neighbors in two different buildings in Sky Harbor Northbrook. He always went out of his way to say hi and was of tremendous help to my team and I when we took over new warehouse space. Upon watching our team of two women attempt to unload a truck, he brought his forklift over and unloaded the entire thing. That’s the kind of guy he was : Always kind and thoughtful 🙏🏼 Prayers and condolences to all his loved ones ❤️

We loved having Paul in class at 10,000 Small Businesses. He was so hilarious and happy to help any one of his peers. Our thoughts and prayers are with his entire family.

We knew Paul since 2014 as a client, a networker and a friend. You are blessed to have known his joy and goodness for so much longer. He had a great heart that touched ours and we’ll keep him there forever. Rebecca and Jerry

I’ve known Paul for over 8 years as a fellow paddle teammate and counsel to Shred Spot. He approached life, paddle and his business in the same way, striving for improvement and perfection. I’ll miss Paul as a teammate, fierce competitor, and friend, and extend my condolences to Carol, his parents and his entire family.

I worked in the same office with Paul. I considered Paul a friend….he was a perfect gentleman, hardworking, and so kind to me…..always. We both loved animals and I would go in Pauls office in the morning sometimes and we would look at his fish tank and he would teach me about all his fish… I remember one of the fish had a skin issue and Paul would take the fish in his hand and put medicine on it to heal the fish….. so kind. He was so knowledgable about so many things yet he was so humble…. He never boasted enough about how many things in life he experienced and knew. He was respected by all that knew him. I will miss Paul so so much and seeing him every Monday Morning…. there will be an emptiness for a while in our office and my hope is that in time the sadness of that emptiness will turn into nothing but the happy and loving memories Paul brought to this office.
My deepest condolences to all of his family, and Carol, (including his doggy that he LOVED)….. my heart hurts for all of you.
Love you Paul…. Lori Lazar
