Paul Dehnert has passed away.

[A26B]

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.

Paul Smith wrote the following;

Paul Dehnert was a very good friend to many of us and it is with a very
heavy heart that I pass this message on to the ZR1 guys.

Paul has been fighting multiple myeloma cancer all year long with pretty
good results until he caught pneumonia 2 weeks ago. He never recovered. Paul passed away at 10:47 am this morning.

Paul lived life to the fullest and thoroughly enjoyed his LPE 415 and TT
ZR1s as well as his friends in the ZR1 community.

I am fortunate enough to have many great memories with Paul as we went to so
many car events over the last 13 years.

I have never known anyone with a more a positive outlook on life. His glass
was always full. A real inspiration to me and many others. Paul was one of a
kind and will be greatly missed.

God speed Paul!

Life is too short so you better enjoy it while you can.

Here is the message from his wife Vicky:

Dear Family and Friends,

With profound sorrow we regret to inform you that our dad and husband, G.
Paul Dehnert, passed from this life on Saturday, August 7 at 10:47a.m. at
the UAMS hospital in Little Rock, AR. He was surrounded by his immediate
family and passed peacefully with our love and blessing. He conquered multi
myeloma cancer this past year, but died of complications from a fungal
pneumonia.

Arrangements are pending; there will be a memorial service in Austin, Texas
within a week (tentatively on Saturday, August 14), then Mill Valley,
California at a later date.

Thank you for all your support, love and concern this past year.

He's in a better place now, and as Willie's song says, "On the road
again....."

Our love,
Vicky, Nathan, Mike, Kristin, Jeff Dehnert
