Paul Dehnert has passed away.
 

We lost a really fine person today. I've spent a little time with Paul and must say that he was simply one of the finest people I have ever known. He was a profound gentleman with tremendous class and made you feel immediately at ease with him. I'll miss him personally. The ZR-1 community has lost a great member and a fantastic representative for the ZR-1 Corvette. God bless you Paul. You will be missed.:saluting:

He was a friend and he will be missed. Here he is at Camp LT-5 doing what he loved best, talking about cars.

My prayers go out to Paul's family

Re: Paul Dehnert has passed away.
 

Paul was the consummate engineer, always interested in new and exotic pieces. We learned of his battle with cancer last fall at the BBQ, and he was in Little Rock recovering from a round of chemo in May so he missed the 20th at the NCM. Now he's probably checking in with John L. about another twin-turbo ...

Re: Paul Dehnert has passed away.
 

Paul D and John L must be bench racing right now.

The upper frame is John Lingenfelter and Paul, with Graham in the white shirt hidden behind Paul. They are looking at Paul's LPE 368 twin turbo #1 of 4.

The lower frame is John L. in a white LPE 385 customer car lined up against Paul in his twin turbo. Graham is standing to the left of the white car. John jumped out 2-1/2 car lengths out of the hole but Paul reeled him in with the TT horsepower and won by 1/2 second!

Below are details of the memorial service in Austin this Saturday for Paul. For those who are so inclined, a burnout at 11:00 am would be appropriate.

Will Barrett


Hello, Vicky and children are staying with friends in Austin for the week. The service for Paul will be: Saturday, August 14 11:00a.m. First Presbyterian Church, 8001 Mesa Drive, Austin, TX Lunch following immediately after The church is centrally located, so any hotel in Austin will work for logistics. Let me know if you need suggestions. This will be a memorial celebration service. There will be an opportunity for a few people to say a few words about Paul during the service. We would be pleased if a few people would like to participate; let me know if you are interested. I need to know soon for program printing deadlines. I will email a copy of the obituary when it's ready. Memorial service will also be held in San Francisco/Mill Valley, date to be determined. Please don't send flowers. I know Paul would like to have contributions made to the Multiple Institute. Details will be in obituary. Many thanks, Vicky

It is always sad when quality people pass on. Paul is in a better place now where no speed limits or rev limiters exist.

Re: Paul Dehnert has passed away.
 

Will,

A smokey burnout will proudly be conducted @ 11:00 in Paul's honor.

Thanks for the info for Paul's service.

Paul was one of the nicest, most kind gentlemen you will ever meet. I had nothing but admiration for him and loved to visit with him. He will be missed by many.

Re: Paul Dehnert has passed away.
 

Always good to hear from you Jim. I've missed your witisism the last few years. Try to drop in more often!!

Re: Paul Dehnert has passed away.
 

Lurker,

My sincerest apologies for not having sent the notice directly to your email account. I wish you could have been there today, but know you were there in spirit. Paul would have approved of the service.....:flag2:
