Paul Gajewski

Paul was a very humorous and energetic person. He made friends wherever he went, whether to a convention full of hard-core salespeople in Chicago or a trattoria in a village in Italy. Paul was a natural entrepreneur. He was the owner of a Pacific Northwest regional office products representation company for over 30 years. However, the two most important things in his busy life are his beautiful wife Dannah and his adventurous son Jason. He built a rich, exciting and beautiful life with Dannah. Though they lived for decades in the Seattle area, they eventually chose to live in Soap Lake, Washington on the golf course, where you could find him nearly everyday. Paul was a proud and devoted dad. He thought his son Jason (welder, woodsman, master fisherman, traveler, Montana-sorta-homesteader), was the coolest dude ever. Paul was on a father-son vacation with Jason in Zihuatanejo when he was struck by a completely unexpected heart attack. Jason honored his dad through his own grief, navigating the bureaucracy of the Mexican government and bringing his dad’s ashes home to us over the course of more than a week.
